You'd need to go something like:

Over the next 6 months, there are <link>21 courses</link> being offered in 4 
countries, split up as:<p>
<ul>
  <li> 3 - Administration
  <li> 2 - Implementation
  <li> 9 - Tuning
</ul>

Or something like that ...

I really like this layout. It takes out the question of showing a company name, which is just wordiness anyways, and then we have to worry about equal exposure. Just list the 3 upcoming courses by type/name/etc and then show them on the list.

I *still* think (and am apparently still ignored...) there should be limits placed on the number of events a vendor can list...either by type, or by vendor. A vendor is less likely to post "training spam", and more likely to post events they really plan to run when they have a limit as to their total listings...
