You can join Casablanca expert Chet Davis in the upper midwest in March 2009.  Chet will provide you with an opportunity to be coached in intermediate/advanced Casablanca skills and techniques!

If you're anywhere near the Quad Cities (Illinois/Iowa), you'll want to take part in _the_ pivotal event in the Casablanca Community and that's the March Get Togehter, put on my Jim Meeker.  You can read more about that event on the MGT website: www.marchgettogether.com .

I thought it a logical extension to offer this 2-day hands-on workshop prior to the MGT 2009 in the same hotel!

You bring your Casablanca unit and a monitor.  Chet will supply the class footage as AVI files on DVD for use with Disk Transfer.  You load the footage onto your Casablanca editor and follow along with Chet as he leads you through two days worth of exercises to help raise you on the ladder of video enlightenment.

Registration for this special two-day hands-on training is just $149.00 per person if you are also attending the March Get Together ($199. if attending just this workshop).  The registration fee includes workshop footage on DVD, expert instruction and hands-on training and lunch both days .

* Your Casablanca unit must have Smart Edit 7 or Smart Edit 8 or Bogart SE OS 2 active as well a Disk Transfer, PowerKey and DVD Arabesk 4

Other software that must be installed and active - or in the 'demo' mode includes: Candy Factory, Motion 3D (pack 1)
