Pricing
Our seminars are designed to provide the most relevant information at the lowest cost. Consequently, we do not charge a per attendee fee. You may schedule as many people in attendance as you desire. We charge only a flat seminar cost of $1999 per seminar. Seminars range between two and eight hours. Materials are $50 per attendee. Travel and expense costs will be billed separately. (Travel and expenses tend to be minimal because each seminar is performed by a single Decision Support Sciences Seminar leader.) One half the seminar fee and all travel expenses are due in advance to book a seminar. The balance will be billed net 30.

 
Scheduling
Call us at (630) 876-4616 to schedule a seminar. While we do our best to fit our seminars within your schedule, we are not always able to schedule seminars on short notice. Please schedule seminars no less than two weeks in advance of the desired seminar date. During your call, please indicate the number of attendees so we can print a seminar summary brief for each attendee.

 
Location and Room Set-Up
All seminars will be scheduled at the client site. Since the seminars include actual demonstrations of technology tools applied to the business issue, the room must have a screen, and lights that dim. The Market Advantage seminar leader will bring all materials and technology necessary for the presentation. However, if your company has an LCD projector with a resolution of at least 800x600, please have that projector available during the seminar, and mention that fact when you schedule the seminar.
