No problem. You can't move it once it has been posted  (but I can)......you have to select the specific forum prior to posting.

The website shows they are open for business. But it is by appointment only (online registration).

I'm talking about the CFO Seminar. Not the Medical.

Thanks, thats helpful.  

The United States is now a country obsessed with the worship of its own ignorance.  Americans are proud of not knowing things.  They have reached a point where ignorance, is an actual virtue.  To reject the advice of experts is to assert autonomy, a way for Americans to insulate their increasingly fragile egos from ever being told they're wrong about anything.  It is a new Declaration of Independence: no longer do we hold these truths to be self-evident, we hold all truths to be self-evident, even the ones that arent true.  All things are knowable and every opinion on any subject is as good as any other.  The fundamental knowledge of the average American is now so low that it has crashed through the floor of "uninformed", passed "misinformed", on the way down, and now plummeting to "aggressively wrong."

Are they requiring a visa to be already issued to attend the online session? I thought there was an interview process associated with CFO as well. How does this work?
