I found that the clinics hosted by laserbits to be more of a sales pitch for their products. Some guy named Mike Frosano ran the clinic and he knew less than I did. JonC

Wow! I'm surprised to hear you say that. We had 4 sold-out clinics last year (in Texas & Hawaii). Every Survey/Questionnaire we rec'd back said they'd definitely recommend the seminar to others.

I'm sorry you didn't get what you expected. Since I don't recognize your name, I'm guessing you weren't at a Brewer Sales' hosted clinic. If I'm wrong & you were at one of our clinics, please let me know. I'll refund the money you paid.

No, it wasn't at your clinic. Laserbits does some in phoenix and I went out there to attend.

That Mike guy is less than truthful about, well, nevermind the details. I won't do business with him and let's leave it at that.

Mike Fruciano (note the correct spelling of his name) has been a regular contributing writer for The Engravers Journal for the past 5 years. During this time we have received countless letters to the editor about Mike's articles, his knowledge of laser engraving and about the Laserbits seminars, workshops and/or clinics. Mike is one of the industry's foremost experts in laser engraving, and I have never heard anyone question that.

Never during that time have I heard even the slightest suggestion that Mike or the Laserbits organization is anything other than 100% reputable, as you infer by your innuendoes.

If you consider yourself to be a responsible spokesman in the industry, why don't you address your concerns directly with Mike Fruciano and feel free to CC a copy of your correspondence to me?

Sincerely,
Mike Davis

Jeanette,

I looked at the links for the clinics and didn't see the price of attending. Am I just not seeing it?

The LaserBits Clinics (across the nation) are "hosted" by many different companies. Those companies determine the prices for clinics in their area.

The clinics hosted by Brewer Sales are $75/pp. For pricing, etc., on clinics outside of Texas, follow the links to the "host".
