Learning Annex courses range in diversity from powerful lectures by such speakers as Donald Trump, Larry King, Jerry Lewis, Sarah Jessica Parker, Henry Kissinger, Tony Robbins, Deepak Chopra, Bishop Desmond Tutu, Barbara Bush, P. Diddy, Sylvia Browne and James Van Praagh to our “How To” seminars ranging from writing a business plan, investing in real estate, and succeeding in the music business to social activities like our whitewater Rafting trip and wine tastings.

Over our 30-year history, The Learning Annex has become so recognizable in contemporary culture that we have been featured in hit shows such as Sex and The City, Six Feet Under, The Simpsons, Will and Grace, Dharma and Greg, to name a few. Mad TV, Saturday Night Live and The Tonight Show with Jay Leno have incorporated The Learning Annex into their parodies. Additionally, major publications from Time Magazine to The New York Times to Inc. Magazine have spotlighted the popularity of The Learning Annex.
