The three-hour workshops are designed to be much more interactive and immersive. The rooms will be set in rounds to encourage collaboration, discussion, and the exchange of ideas among participants. The extended format also allows presenters to explore the subject matter in greater depth, incorporate group activities or exercises, respond to questions, and create opportunities for attendees to apply what they are learning.
