I added a couple of topic suggestions to your list below.
Reasonable price? I think the going rate for professional trainers is
from is $795/day to $1495/day. I've been to enough one-day sessions
produced/managed by professional "trainers" to be very leery of
paying that much out of my own pocket - I anticipate short days with
little content, no depth to the discussion, too many breaks with low
quality coffee and stale doughnuts. (I am not talking about
photography content here - these were related to my work), Given that
cynical appraisal of Workshops in general, if I had faith in the
competence of the presenter (and with you I would) then I'd probably
pay $200-250 for a shorter, intro, first day and at the end of the
day would pay $400 for the full-day second day. I know, you didn't
say that this is the model you would follow, but for marketing I
think you would do well to have an Intro day and a second, Advanced
Techniques, day.
