Training Seminar

[SamIV]

Any of you ever attended a training seminar offered by manufacturers.
Would this be beneficial to a newbie in this field? I know they would only be pusing their products. Hadco is offering one which is the closest to me. Don't really want to travel to California.
Been reading up on low voltage lighting for the last couple of years. Never done an install but I do design and install residential and small commercial irrigation systems, 15 zone and below, and have received extensive training in this field. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Recently returned from the Hadco seminar held at their plant in Texas, and it was well worth the trip. Our instructor was a sales manager for the company, but really did not try to sell Hadco products. He was all about educating us on design and installation, sales of low-voltage ligthing systems, and maintenance. On the last day he spent only thirty minutes pointing out Hadco's best selling items. All who attended the seminar were new to this field.

Any of you new to this field should take advantage of one of these seminars. The seminars are relatively inexpensive compared to what you receive in return.
