Also, Adorama and B&H offer occasional lecture and one-day event learning opportunities. If either is convenient in location, you might check in with them to see what might be coming up. Look at their websites as well. They both have pod cast learning via the internet. I know Moose Peterson has done a number of these for B&H as have others. Adorama has one of their staff guys who has an on-going series.
