Pre-conference workshops

Pre-conference workshops are designed for a smaller number of participants, and should involve interactive features (e.g. data analysis, open discussion, demonstrations etc.) having a high level degree of participant involvement. Workshops will be either 2-3 hours or 3-4 hours in length. Submissions close on December 20, 2018
