hi everybody,

i hope all is doing well. i'm planning on going for an early CFO seminar. my question is, i've lived and worked in the US for 6 consecutive years. do you think i can just convince them that i don't need to go through their seminar as i already know what life is like in the US? i know these seminars are soo boring but i don't mind going. thanks.
