The highly popular Pre-Conference Workshops are back again in 2013. These pre-conference workshops differ from the 90-minute concurrent sessions in that they are intended to help participants enhance specific skill sets or train to acquire specific skills. A limited number of pre-conference workshops will be offered on Tuesday, May 28, and tickets can be purchased at the time of registration (please note that you must be registered at either the daily or full meeting rate).
