Odd Couple Seminar registration
discounts are available to graduates of past Odd Couple Seminars,
partners, other discounted groups; click here for more information.
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. No.
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 50% of the registration investment for
non-alumni.
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 it's own personality.
If
you cannot make it to this year's Odd Couple Seminar, take
advantage of these content-rich resources to improve your
professional speaking, consulting, or coaching business.
Q. Is there a
cancellation policy?
A. Yes. Registration Investment will be refunded, less a $100 administration charge, for cancellations prior to May 16, 2009. On May 16, 2009 and thereafter, no refunds will be issued; instead, any registrants canceling will be given registration credit towards the 2010 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.
