I would like to be pointed in the direction of websites/reports/data
about personal development trade shows and seminars in the USA to be
held in 2005 and 2006.

I'm particularly interested in five areas: 1. spirituality including
meditation and yoga, spiritual practice, "whole-person" work which
might include all five areas 2. Purpose, "personal power", career and
money, 3.  Relationship: marriage, sex, interpersonal, communication,
family, friends 4.  Health: subtle energies, lifestyle, healing,
psychological healing, 5.  men?s or women?s work, like The Grail,
Mankind Project.

NOT interested in: aliens, religion, teacher trainings, stuff that
seems particularly wacky or disorganized, straight career development
like Franklin-Covey.

YES interested in: successful authors/teachers like Anthony Robbins,
Deepak Chopra, David Deida, Ken Wilber, Maryanne Williamson, Jack
Canfield.  Also well-established content like Landmark Education.

LESS interested in routine small trainings, MORE interested in bigger
events or multi-teacher events, also expensive exclusive events (Tony
Robbins has a yacht trip: one week, $40,000)

A good answer would include a reasonably comprehensive (15-50 seems
right?) list of websites which list these type of events.

Hello again otto1465-ga,

I?m glad to be able to help you with your project. As I mentioned
earlier, it is very difficult to organize the information about
conferences, workshops, expos and events into the five categories
you?ve listed. It is especially difficult to categorize these events
because most of them are not focused on a single topic or category and
instead have speakers/workshops from several of your subject areas.

I discovered that as I did the research I was able to develop a
different system of organizing the information I found. I hope this
will be helpful. Developing a universal calendar of events in this
field is also extremely time consuming. You have to click through many
layers on the various vendor Web sites to find their schedule of
events in order to extract the information to compile for your
purposes.

My basic approach was to start the research with the individuals and
organizations that you named. First I looked up the Web sites (if any)
for the individuals you listed. Most of the time they listed where
they were appearing in the coming months. If not, I did additional
research to find this information. This led to identifying conference
and expo organizers which was useful for finding additional events for
you. After researching the individuals, I looked for conferences that
I?ve known about and then searched for additional ones. I also
searched for institutions that are famous for their new age workshops
and curriculum offerings.

I hope that the information I?ve collected will give you a good start
for your project. Please don?t hesitate to ask for clarification if
any of this is confusing.

Wishing you well.
