Hands-On Workshops are a unique presentation format which enhances learning through practical experience. Instructors will walk attendees through a series of in-class exercises using the techniques and tools being discussed.
Bring Your Own Device: Hands-On Workshops at WUSS 2022 will use a bring-your-own-device model. Please review the information below regarding what is required for each specific workshop. Some workshops require some pre-work to setup and configure the necessary tools.
No laptop? No problem! Attendees are welcome to attend Hands-On Workshop sessions and watch as the instructor works through the exercises on the screen. However, we request that you please be courteous and save table space for those that are working through the exercises on their devices.
