This workshop offers a welcome return to the live classroom, so that you can network face-to-face with other attendees and enjoy relaxed discussions with the experienced instructors. You will have the opportunity to ask questions in live Q&A’s after each main topic, plus we’ll have a Networking Happy Hour on day one for all instructors and workshop attendees.
Whether you are new to the industry or are experienced and changing roles, our experts will help you gain the knowledge you need to succeed!
