2024 Conference Workshops

Workshops are in-depth, interactive, focused sessions that help to extend your knowledge and strengthen your tech skills.

Space is limited, so be sure to register early. The 2024 Conference will have THREE SLOTS with multiple two-hour workshops in each time slot. Workshops are not included in the conference registration and must be registered for separately.  Reminder: The more workshops you sign up for the better your pricing is, i.e. – 3 workshops are $67/workshop vs. 1 workshop at $89.
