Have you heard of seminar companies? Do you know what they do and if they are of value to your speaking career? Today’s special Q&A will answer those questions and more about working with seminar companies.

Seminar companies are companies that present seminars for a fee. Usually, they are attended by employees who have been sent by their employers to learn a specific skill like accounting, social media or finance. The seminars happen all over the country on a daily basis.
