Seminars, Events and Resources

I'm planning to purchase a carpet cleaning business in a few months. I would like to know your suggestions of educational events, trainings and trade shows you would suggest. Basically, if you were going to sell your business, what direction would you send your buyer in? I realize this is a very vague question, but I'm so new, I don't know exactly how to ask. I just went today and watched the seller clean a house - I'm that new.

Thanks!
