Add workshops

Our preconference workshops will be held on Saturday, 29 August and Sunday, 30 August.

There is no additional fee to attend the preconference workshops; however, advance registration is required. As each workshop has a limited number of places, delegates must register for their chosen workshops in advance. Workshop venues will be confirmed and published with the release of the conference program.

If you have already registered for the conference, you should have received an email with information about workshop registration. Please use the link provided in that email to add workshops to your existing conference registration. If you need assistance, please contact Chatz.
