These professional development opportunities provide conference attendees with a forum for learning new information, skills, and best practices.
Workshops can be 4 or 8 hours in length and will held prior to the Fire Congress on Tuesday, December 2. Attendees will be able to register for accepted workshops during conference registration for an additional fee (usually $25 for half day, $50 for full day). We will provide registration lists prior to the event, assist with set up, and provide requested supplies if possible. We are open to variations in timing and format; if you have specific needs please let us know.
Proposals will be evaluated based on the clarity of the description and draft agenda, the relevance of the topic and its appeal to attendees, and available time in the congress schedule. We will contact proposers of workshops/courses with similar topics or themes to determine if those proposals can be merged.
