sram seminar/clinic topics

if sram was to fly out and do a clinic at your shop what topics would you want to cover? i can really only think of reverb seatpost work. hammerschmit is an option but not a huge market for it. i am also thinking about sram derailer tuning. everyone seems to have road fd issues but i am fine with it. i am ok on suspension unless they made some major changes. avid bleeding is fine too

Not sure if they are still running it, but Sram used to do training at their product development center in Colorado Springs. They paid for your accommodation and lunches for the three day course, all you had to do was get yourself to Colorado Springs and buy your breakfast and dinner.
They run them in the winter when shops are typically slow.
I went with my head mechanic in January of 2007, and sent my mechanic again in 2008. Well worth the trip.
I closed my shop at the end of 2008, so I have not been back, but i'd go again if the opportunity arose.
