To help shape breakout sessions and technical working discussions, registrants will have an opportunity to share restoration topics and areas of interest in advance of the workshop. This will help ensure conversations focus on the issues that matter most to our community.
Remote participation is possible for viewing presentations. However, we encourage participants to attend in person to make the most of the networking, coaching, and collaborative working sessions. Lunch and refreshments will be provided.
Space is limited, so register now to secure your place. Because this workshop is offered at no cost, we ask that you only register if you're able to commit to attending — it helps us make sure catering and space go to everyone who wants a seat.
