Schedule
The workshop begins Thursday evening with a reception followed by a dinner for all the authors and event staff. Friday and Saturday are full workshop days.
We know you need time to relax, take meals, and enjoy catered breaks.
Breakfast each day is on your own. Coffee and snacks are provided before the first session and throughout the morning and during the afternoon break.
Lunch and Dinner on Friday and Saturday are part of the workshop. The expectation is that the conversation around the table during the sessions will continue through lunch and dinner.
The workshop concludes with dinner on Saturday evening.
We have an optional brunch on Sunday for those that would like to join.
