Registration opens for workshops
Welcome workshop attendees! Don't forget to check in at the registration table and get your conference badge and t-shirt. Not attending a workshop? You can also use this time to check in to the conference.
Workshops (in person only)
The main conference takes place on days two and three. On day one, we kick things off with workshops! Giving workshops their own day allows us to dive deeper and spend more time on important topics. We charge extra for workshops ($50) to cover the facility costs and a snack break. Registration is required to attend a workshop. Workshops are for in-person attendees only and will not be live-streamed.
