GTD Live
If you have never been to a live GTD seminar, I highly recommend checking one out. No matter what your implementation has been, they can be a great way to bring your GTD system and mastery to a new level. I've been a student of this model for over 15 years and I still hear something new each time I sit through a seminar as a participant. As your life, job and interests change, so can your system. For you Connect members out there, there's a great David Allen video clip on Connect around "The Subtle Levels of GTD" that's worth checking out about how GTD evolves for you over time.
There are two flavors of live seminars you can attend:
GTD RoadMap - Taught by the man himself, David Allen. A great class for getting an overview of the whole picture of GTD.
GTD Mastering Workflow - Taught by GTD staff presenters, like me. A great hands-on class.
We tend to describe the difference between the two seminars as:
The Mastering Workflow GTD seminar, is very tactically oriented - how to get quick control using the fundamental thinking process and the five phases of workflow mastery. The RoadMap will include a condensed version of that material but will focus more on the whole picture of the self-consulting process, including prioritizing from multiple horizons, applying the core productivity principles, and making change stick.

I couldn't locate the video clip on Connect that you refer to - can you give the URL please?
I fully endorse what you say about the seminars. I attended a Roadmap in Minneapolis last year thinking there wasn't much I could learn. How wrong can you be? Also got a chance to chat to David - he's so approachable if anyone's worried. He loves knowing how you got into GTD. Also it's a great chance to get some cool gear!

Thanks David. The Connect Video I refer to can be found through the Connect Video Library:

Select "Inspiration" as the category. I'm realizing now the The name of the video clip is actually "The Seductive Higher Level." Sorry about that! It's about 2 minutes.
For the upcoming Mastering Workflow classes, I'm on tap to teach the Phoenix and Denver ones.
Cheers,
Kelly

Is there a chance to get some GTD training in Europe? I have started using the system about 18 months ago, and I regularly go back to the book to refresh, but I would really like to have a chance to attend a seminar...
Cheers, from Belgium

Hi Segolene,
Yes, there's a good chance that there will be a public RoadMap seminar in Europe in 2008.

Hi Tarun,
Yes, we do work all over the world. We have clients in Asia and have trips several times per year. At this time, we do not do public seminar in that part of the world--just US and Europe. If you are interested in booking something for yourself or your team, please contact our office:
