The Edge

Each track is capped off by a half-day training workshop by one of our headline presenters. One half-day workshop is included in your conference registration. You can move freely from track to track throughout the conference. However, due to space limitations, at the time you register you will need to specify which workshop you will attend. Please note, this schedule is subject to change.
