Bonjour Karine!
Thanks for bringing this to my attention (I can always count on your blog to keep me up to date). I’m really looking forward to the event! I just wish the CASE workshops weren’t so bloody expensive. Even the recorded sessions on CD are over $200. Has anyone had any experience with the CASE seminars before….perhaps they are well worth it. It just seems as though 200+ is a bit much when you compare it to the price of a two day conference. I’ve ordered a few of their books, which were really good, but they are outragously expensive as well. Then again, these comments are coming from a person who works at a European university, in a Socialist country. Maybe the price is spot on in the US.
Bonne journee!
