Has anyone here ever attended a blackjack training seminar?

Does that include guest "appearances" in our own forum chat room? If so, the answer is, "It went well, and it did help my game." And even more so, I have received a great deal of help from the many experts on the forum itself, which could be considered an ongoing seminar with many and changing break-out rooms. After this experience, I doubt I would ever pay for a seminar offered elsewhere. I don't mean to say that I now know everything, but it seems to me, if you can't find it here, you're probably not going to find it in a seminar either.
For the price they charge, HELL NO! Some of their costs could be the starting BR of a red chipper. Even more ridiculous is that their 'expert' advice could easily be found on forums here, or from DVD tutorials. I watched both of Semyon Dukach's DVDs by finding the torrents from a free torrent site (non-commercial copyright violations never hurt anybody). They were very interesting and definitely beat the fees associated with his personal courses. Andy Bloch's Expert Insight course was a great watch, primarily because of the Hollywood factor!
Who said it could be easily found here? Much can be found here, and it might take a lot of sifting through mis and dis information. Personally knowing an expert, say Grosjean, would be all the more valuable. But I don't place much faith in seminars, although there may be the exception that proves the rule.
Here's a free video course at http://www.blackjackapprenticeship.com/
Now it's not as involved as the purchased courses but it does give a basic run through of many topics. It's helpful especially for beginners or players who need some refreshing on the basics.
