		<description>@Sarat - Thanks! There are really so many variables that affect conversion - as you mention - that I wouldn&#039;t hazard a guess. The accounting firm in the case study above did a fantastic job with their topic, speaker, and target list. That certainly went a long way in making the seminar a success for them.</description>

		<description>So true! Live events are an essential tool in almost any marketing arsenal. There is no substitution for face to face marketing, especially 1 to many.  It makes your prospects feel like they know you and that brings them that much closer to becoming a client.  Thanks for the post.</description>

		<description>I always like your articles and follow your tweets. Thanks for the great information. While I have no question that in-person seminars are the best lead generation campaign, what do you think is the real turn around percentage into opportunities. In my mind, I would think the % of conversion into opportunities is 1% for a very well prepared, focussed and well attended seminar.
