As the world remains cautious and socially distant, we are taking our monthly Lunch & Learn series virtual. This helps us stay connected and learning from our homes in Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, Singapore and more. This month’s event covered third-generation analytics—what it is, how to get started with your existing toolbox and how to level up with some nice new tools.
