How To Get The Most From A Seminar... A Few Simple Things You Should Know

Mon, 26 Mar 2012 04:03:00 -0700

Remember when attending a seminar there a few things you should plan for. Will the room be too hot or cold - wear layers so you can adjust to what's best for you. Bring a snack - something you can quietly eat during the session or at breaks - lunch is usually on the instructor's schedule and can vary so better to be prepared. Not all seminar sponsors provide beverages but the hotels usually provide water in pitchers - if you need or want something else best to bring your own.

It's easier to concentrate and get the full benefit of the seminar if you are prepared, comfortable and ready to learn.

SIS Celebrates 30 Years in Business!

Thu, 19 May 2011 11:05:00 -0700

Thirty years ago, Seminar Information Service started off as a place to help training and personnel directors find the right seminars and training for their staff.

The first SIS WORKBOOK had 1900 seminars listed - the service, now completely on the Internet has grown to over 360,000 seminars given by over 600 seminar sponsoring organizations.

"Now as the premier location for finding training on the Internet we have been able to reach not only the corporate training professionals but individuals who are looking to take a seminar to increase their skills or get the latest state-of-the art information" says Catherine Bellizzi, President and co-founder of Seminar Information Service, Inc.

"Who would have thought that an idea we had 30 years ago would still be a vital service that helps thousands of individuals each year but then we were on the cusp of the information age" adds Mona Piontkowski, EVP and co-founder. "We are delighted to have helped so many people over these 30 years and hope to continue to help the individual find a seminar that is right for him or her."

New Feature: Recently Viewed Seminars

Mon, 11 Oct 2010 01:10:00 -0700

If you're a regular visitor to SeminarInformation.com, you probably noticed that we launched a complete site redesign back in August. The core point of the redesign was to focus the site around search, making it easier than ever to narrow and revise your searches to find the most relevant, local seminars.

At the same time, though, we added a few new features. One of those is the "Recently Viewed" seminar box. If you click through a couple of seminar listings, you'll see something like this pop up near the top-left of the site:

The "Recently Viewed" box shows the last 3 online seminar brochures you've viewed, with the most recent seminar appearing at the top. Just click on any of those links to jump back to a previous seminar page. This feature will appear automatically ? you don't need to sign in or do any additional setup.

We hope this feature makes navigating and comparing seminars easier than ever. If you have any questions about the new site or new features, or if you have suggestions for features, please don't hesitate to contact us.
