Somewhere along the line, seminars became more of a sales pitch, where reps from various companies stand up to "discuss an issue" which mostly gets resolved by using their product or promoting their programs. You tend to see the usual collection of attention whores appearing in panels these days. You won't learn from people who only want your money.
been in the business since 99, the seminars Always Sucked
