Workshops

Workshops are complimentary for registered conference delegates only. Persons not registered for the conference who wish only to attend a workshop will be charged a fee equivalent to a one-day registration.

All workshops and post-graduate courses will take place in parallel on Tuesday, 17 March 2015; consequently delegates may elect to attend one full-day workshop, two half-day workshops or a combination of a half-day workshop and post-graduate course.

Since space is limited, pre-registration for the workshops is required. You can sign up for workshops when registering for the conference. Please click here to register.

Please note: If you registered for the conference before the opening of workshop registration (last week of January 2015) or want to add a workshop after having completed your registration, or if you registered offline, please send an e-mail with your selection as well as your Registration ID to registration@wctoh.org.
