@depardoo: No, it means "we're not gonna book a space until we're sure this class is gonna pay for itself.
I'm in the social media teaching racket, or was until recently. I've been teaching this stuff for longer than it's had a proper name, but in the last year it seems that every douchenozzle with a Twitter account is charging three figures for an afternoon of "Social Media 101." It's mortifying to those of us who actually have something to teach and consider teaching an honorable profession, rather than a quick buck source to tack on to your day job in case you get fired.
I mean, there are people with ads in the paper, $150 for a two-hour class. And these people were sitting in MY class six months ago. I'm good, but no way can I turn out a guru that fast. #scams

"we'll send you the location after you sign up" = we're expecting stalkers #scams
