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?

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

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.
