Hi Connor, $995 for the day seems a bit much?

I had expected 500-600 for a soft intro to your platform and something more interesting than pairs trading and 2hrs of algo writing, is the syllabus and price set in stone? I know you have to cover expenses, travel etc but it doesn't seem great value when there are other full day python/quant courses in sydney for less than that which appear to offer much more bang for your buck.

I think it's a bit too much. I would think the price would beOK when you would do a more advanced lecture like kalman filters, factor development etc.

Hey Michael and Peter,

We appreciate your feedback and that AUD $955 is not a small amount. We did think a lot about the correct direction to go here. The workshops were built in response to the many requests we have gotten from our community for this type of hands-on education, and after noticing the success of this material when presented at top schools. Given how expensive other workshops teaching the same content are, we’re confident that we can offer the best education at a below market rate.

In addition to the hundreds of hours that we put into building these workshops, we use the profits to enable more free events in previously unreachable locations. Because of the workshops, we now are able to fund trips to Europe and Asia. We’re also experimenting with ideas for a cheaper online course option, and welcome your continued feedback.

Thanks,

Connor
