It might be the best information in the world, and those involved might have the best intentions, but the reason people become skeptical is when something is touted as "free" to hook people in, but then, upon closer inspection, registration is free, but to access information in a timely, easy way, you need to pay.
Free is great, when it's actually free.
There are plenty of organisations that actually do provide leading edge healthcare information for free every day via their websites, etc. There is no deception, no fine print. It's open and transparent. When something isn't open and transparent, that's when the skeptic in me rages.
I'd much rather they said 'We have this great seminar. You can hear the seminar on the phone for free as a once off (if that's what the deal actually is) but to access the information after that you need to pay $X'.
Eta - I'm not trying to dissuade anyone from participating. It might be great! Just don't give anyone your credit card number for "registration"
