Here is a secret Brad Fallon and I discussed at our famous Hooters rendezvous (http://www.google.ca/url?sa=t&ct=res&cd=1&url=http%3A%2F%2Fgoldblogger.com%2Fwordpress%2Farc hives%2Fbrad-fallon-sighted-at-hooters%2F&ei=lrGVRvyuEpbigQOspdnBBg&usg=AFQjCNHTkcrUByt45yFoLn2VBubMyn--_Q&sig2=QQVIYAeCX3O0V4SbtjMFhg).

You can have seminars and workshops at your local college and universities -- and you will pee your pants with glee when they quote prices.

Georgia Tech quoted me a price of $500/day for their conference center and that INCLUDED the refreshments and food!

And get this...

Every desk in the room had a wifi/high-speed internet hookup!

My next conference/seminar is being held at the University College of the Fraser Valley, just outside of Vancouver Canada.

The price?

$75 Loonies (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=loonie) A Day! And that includes the pimple-faced kid that operates the audio-visual equipment.

But wait... there's more!

Heard of distance education? Well colleges can RECORD your seminar for peanuts, if not FREE. The classrooms are already set up for that, with cameras all over the room to capture the discussion and the lecture.

So tell your local Chamber to stuff themselves.

Aloha,

Jason
