Current Schedule of Seminars


NOTE:   Please read carefully to determine whether it is a PLA-INC.-sponsored event or an event sponsored by a different organization that has contracted our presentation.

Seminars sponsored by other organizations have their own guidelines and require registration

through that organization.  Check the key below for registration information.

Please check often to see if there are any additions, changes, or cancellations.



 PLA-INC. Seminars:  Advance registration is strongly recommended.  Cancellations are decided several days prior to a seminar.  In general, a minimum of eight (8) persons is required to hold a seminar, including staff, parents, and guests.  So to avoid disappointment for yourself and others: 

Don’t wait until the last minute to register.


If you prefer to register offline, download a Registration Form and choose the option that suits you.
