And so... what next? What hurts is that after such events are held, there is no way to track the progress of participants online, or no method to directly link their subsequent successes to interventions which took place during such a programme, as this one.

Another thing is that anyone seeking info about such an event, the participants and the things that took place there, would not be able to get such details after the event winds up.

I remember once asking an organiser for a transcript of the Masterclass that took place during their event, and he was just looking at me blankly. This was less than 3 weeks after their event ended! Didn't it occur to them, that they could have made DVDs of such a masterclass, and sold it as a pay-per-download click, from their website? Chai!
