In addition to the 100 lectures that will be presented over the course of our 3 day conference, we will also present 5 optional, early-bird breakfast workshops. All five of these workshops, (each, 2 hours long) will run concurrently on Friday morning, May 11th, from 7:00am to 9:00am. Two extra continuing education credits can be earned by attending one of these workshops. The workshops are $95 each and include a full, hot breakfast buffett. If you wish to attend any of the five workshops, you may sign up for a workshop when you register via our online registration system (or via the hard copy registration form if you are mailing in your registration). Last year these workshops were very well-attended and a pleasant way to experience a more in-depth treatment of a topic and a more interactive experience
with the lecturer while enjoying a nice hot breakfast.
