Thread: National Cont. Ed Seminars

I was going to post this in the education forum but that seems to just be a list of events and I'm more looking to discuss them in general.

I attended a 3 day seminar last fall in Las Vegas put on by Kaplan schools and really got a lot out of it. It's amazing how much info people will share when they're not your direct competition. There is a variety of speakers with a lot of technical stuff, marketing, legal and anything else you can imagine.

I really liked this seminar because of the cafeteria style schedule. There are 4 things going on at the same time so you're not stuck sitting through a class about something you're not interested in.

I just couldn't believe that a trip to Las Vegas was not only my cont. ed for the year but also a tax write-off.... what a country

Anyway, have any of you ever attended a national seminar? If so, what did you think about it?

I attend InspectionWorld and the Kaplin/ITA show in Vegas every year. Great education and a chance to meet and fellowship with old friends.

I've attended the ASHI conferences for many years and find them both rewarding from the education standpoint, and for the many personal relationships I have developed over the years.

As a side note to Matts comment, I have found that being at a national conference seems to strengthen local relationships, since we are obviously both committed to building our business.
