The in-person seminar cost is $495 per person, which includes breakfast, lunch, and snacks. Lodging is not included. However, participants can book a room at the Courtyard by Marriott and receive OOIDA’s corporate rate. Everyone is allowed to bring one guest to the seminar for $135.
The online seminar cost is $250 per login connection. Attendees may bring a guest for an additional $125 if that guest requires a separate login, meaning they will login to the seminar from another location differing from your own.
