Before our noon lunch we'll take a short mid-morning break around 10:30. A mid-afternoon break is also scheduled between lunch and the conclusion of the day. We conclude our workshop at about 4pm on the first day, and the second day we wrap up around 3-3:30pm.
The attire is business casual.
Our area offers two major airports: Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) as well as Hollywood Burbank Airport (BUR). A number of smaller regional and private airports also exist for those traveling in by private jet service.
Our intimate workshops sell out, and reserving a seat you later cancel can cause us to turn other guests and revenue away - thus we have the following cancellation policies in effect:
- Seats cancelled 6 weeks prior to event: 100% of tuition credited towards future workshop seats.
- Seats cancelled within 6 weeks of event: 100% of tuition less $500 will be credited towards future workshop seats.
