The way business is being done has really changed. I guess it is important to keep up with the changing times lest you become left behind.
Trends can help. But you should not go with the first trend you see. You can always get more by doing the experiment yourself.
The key is to not stop learning. It will help to learn all the skills you can and you can do that with these seminars.
