About the workshops

These workshops are an optional addition to the two-day Techshare conference. Due to their popularity last year we are providing even more choice by offering six half-day workshops. You can of course make a day of it and choose one morning and one afternoon workshop!

Please note: You do not have to be a Techshare delegate to attend a pre-conference workshop.

Cost of workshops

Half-day workshops are £85 and this will include a buffet lunch. If you wish to attend a morning and an afternoon workshop you will get a discount and the full day will cost £150.
