A workshop is more in-depth than a tutorial. Preferably, it involves active learning activities (hands-on or "pen-and-paper" exercises). Moreover, workshops are upto 3 hours long, and are held before the conference.

Workshop presenters get no compensation. Workshops are usually scheduled before the conference on Friday morning. They may be capped at 30 at the request of the presenter or the local arrangements chair (due to constraints at the host facility).

   • Post a web page with the details. This page will be linked from the conference page by Web Publicity Chair
