How far would you travel?

Hi guys just doing some market research, how far would you be prepared to travel for an offline worshop or seminars. Now I know most of you are going to say it depends on subject/lecturers etc but putting that aside how far would you go?

normally 10-100 km, but if the event is very important to me I will travel more

I will agree on that. But I have traveled 500km for work many times in the past :)

For a day 100km would be the max. I have gone further but that will obviously include a night in a hotel.

I think it depends on the country where you come from, I think people people from spain will travel much more then people from the netherlands

I agree

Thanks guys you have more or less confirmed what I thought, another question if you were going to a training course would you prefer a long one day course or a 2 day residential?

I think the best would be a 2 day out of the city. So it would be more like a combination of work and vacation :)

completely off topic but is there a way to your post rank name I quite like aka Tim Nash supreme overlord :) I don't think its pretentious at all!

I guess you found that already :)

lol ok it might be a little over ego!

back to the topic, I like the idea of a residential, if you haven't guessed we are planning a series of seminar/workshops and so I was carrying out a couple of straw polls to throw into the discussion. Nothing concrete yet but stay tuned.

A little late to this, but I agree if the course appeared to be worth it (cost, topic, instructor), the distance I was willing to travel would extend to say 200 miles. I'd go further for an overnighter. The added value of the overnighter is the ability to network and maybe even have a handful of mini-courses in the evening.

it depends.... but usually 100-1000km ...
