I think perhaps not.  We already have course titles...and vendors 
consistently use the same name for their courses.  We could simply take 
the course names, their counts, and when the most recent of any 
particular group of courses (start date) is.  Then list the three most 
recent (in terms of start date) along with a count as to the number of 
times they are offered...

Like: Upcoming courses:

PostgreSQL Administration (14 events)
PostgreSQL Cool Tricks and Stuff (3 events)
PostgreSQL for Dummies (1 event)
plus 4 Other events...

If you can send me some DDL I can write up a sample query...
