Seminars dealing with "special topics" have actually been around for decades, and are an older form of marketing and information exchanges, that have seen quite a resurgence of interest in
past ten years.Seminars are simply a group of people coming together for discussion and learning of specific techniques and topics. Usually there are several keynote speakers within each seminar, and these speakers are usually experts in their own fields, or topics. Several topic reviews are scheduled each day throughout seminar, and attendees can usually make their choice of topics from among these scheduled events.
Many individuals attend seminars each year, some attending several times a year. The topics of seminars can be as varied as groups attending them, but in particular, there has been a rise of Internet Marketing Seminars over past five years, due to increased interest in this field.
What then are advantages and disadvantages of seminars if you choose to attend or if you're thinking of attending?
Advantages:
1. A wealth of knowledge usually, presented by many speakers at one time in one place. A lot of "learning" at one clip, with most material compressed into two or three days' worth of time.
2. A sense of camaraderie, where individuals can meet others with same interests/problems/concerns that they may have in their chosen field.
3. A sense of renewed hope and inspiration (this is especially true for Internet marketing seminars), as sometimes business concerns are lessened by sharing experiences with others. Being with others that "understand" individual's problems or concerns, is usually a great morale booster!
4. A great way for those that don't like to read, or attend classes, to improve their knowledge of a specific subject.
5. A nice vacation, in usually, a good hotel. Most seminars take place in quality hotels, as this is part of incentive to attracting attendees.
