In addition to the 80 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 Thursday morning, May 14th, from 7:00am to 9:00am. For all attendees, 2 extra continuing education credits can be earned by attending one of these workshops. The workshops are $95 each and include an nice breakfast. If you wish to attend any of the five workshops, you must fill out the appropriate section on the conference registration form and include payment for the workshop. Last year these workshops were very well-attended and a pleasant way to experience a more in-depth treatment of a topic while enjoying a nice breakfast.
