Workshops and Seminars
All trainings, unless otherwise indicated below, take place at the ConEx University Headquarters Training Room (2660 William St.). Workshops are stand alone presentations. Series Seminars are broad topics, comprised of at least two classes. The classes within a Series are subtopics related to the overarching subject matter–you can register for one or all of the classes within a Series, the choice is yours!
