    (One discount only - Registration Discounts cannot be combined with each other or the Partner Special.)

    We reserve the right to refuse registrations. We understand that you may not be able to attend all of The Odd Couple Seminar but want to attend at least a portion. We are happy to accommodate you, but the fees remain the same. Single-day pricing is not available.

    Q. What is attendance like at The Odd Couple Seminar?

    A. Large enough for interesting networking -- small enough that you will get a chance for the one-on-one interaction and attention you need!

    Q. How is this different from a NSA (National Speakers Association) meeting?

    A. This is smaller, tailored to your needs, and very honest:

    • Each registrant will be sending in his or her pre-conference questionnaire so we will have a sense of what attendees' needs are
    • There will be more one-on-one opportunities
    • 2 seasoned and highly successful speaker/consultants will tell you the truth, up close, in person, and uncensored!!!
    • In this setting we are not governed by the antitrust laws which affect NSA gatherings, and we can discuss fees frankly...and any other sensitive matters...
    • Sessions are more extensive, and there will be time and attention for your questions.

    Q. How will the Odd Couple be tailored to my needs?

    A. All Odd Couple registrants are asked to complete a pre-conference questionnaire. Please fill it out as completely as possible and return it promptly. We want to know what aspects of marketing and strategy are most important to you. Click here for the Odd Couple Pre-Conference Questionnaire online.

    Q. Are there any faculty apart from Alan Weiss and Patricia Fripp?

    A. Yes, Chad Barr, president of President, CB Software Systems, Inc. and Alan Weiss' business and web technology expert. Enjoy Chad Barr's article, "Eight Tips to Drive more Traffic to Your Website."

    Q. Do people attend the Odd Couple Seminar more than once?

    A. Yes! Once you have attended the Odd Couple Seminar you can return as an alumnus. Your investment for the seminar is discounted. Click here for discount information.

    Q. Can I get an agenda for the Odd Couple Seminar ?

    A. Yes! Click here for an online copy of the Odd Couple agenda.

    Q. Will this year's Odd Couple Seminar be recorded?

    A. No. However, you can invest in a past Odd Couple Seminar on CD. Each year has new information and as Fripp and Weiss respond to the issues of the audience, each session has its own personality.

    If you cannot make it to this year's Odd Couple Seminar, you can take advantage of content-rich resources to improve your professional speaking, consulting, or coaching business. (Click through for more information.)

    Q. Is there a cancellation policy?

    A. Yes. Registration Investment will be refunded, less a $100 administration charge, for cancellations prior to May 12, 2010. On May 12, 2010 and thereafter, no refunds will be issued; instead, any registrants canceling will be given registration credit towards the 2011 Odd Couple Seminar. Cancellations must be made via voicemail AND written message (email/fax) ; cancellations without both forms of notification will be treated as no-shows. No refunds or credits will be granted for no-shows. (After all, your mother taught you better manners.) Registration to the Odd Couple Seminar is based on your acceptance of this cancellation policy.
