Personally, I see no reason why we cannot charge attendees. One possible model might be to have a broad training session that is free of cost, with incidental expenses covered by a local association. Local associations, and attendees, can then discuss with the trainers on an individual basis regarding more intensive, focused sessions. > Sanjay Gupta, Please comment. > In this specific case, Sanjay has already said that he is ready to do this on a commercial basis.
