Default is my dad making a mistake by going to a seminar?

He signed up for an investment seminar hosed by "investtools" (stock symbol IEDU)

The seminar is for 1 weekend and costs $2K.

He can still get out of it for free. I am scared its a scam or not worthwhile (he makes 6 figures, so I guess his time is more important than most college kids, but just checking).

Anyone know about this?

Yes, tell him to save his $2k.

I don't know if that operation is legit or not, but I do know that there are good, honest operations out there that cost much, much, much less.

(IMO)

I would generally not recommend spending 2K to go to a seminar... did he already do their free 3-hr and $100 2 day ones?

I dont have an opinion as to whether its a good use of money, but its definitely not a scam. Its a public company, ticker IEDU. It has a very warm place in my heart, as I bought it as low as $1.25 per share and sold it over $9.00.
