But ONLY if you put things into ACTION when you return. Too often, we (I'm very guilty of this) do NOT put the things we learn into action, so then it is not an investment into your business, but rather just another expense. So if you go, make sure you are willing to put a couple of things you learn into action!
In which case, YES it is worth it. Plus they are fun and motivating.Frequently Asked Questions
