Hosting a workshop is a fantastic way to learn A LOT in a short amount of time, and for free! Most workshop locations have 2 separate workshops, 2 days each. Therefore the host gets to attend 4 days of workshops. To be a host, there are requirements and also an application. If you meet the following requirements, please proceed to fill out the application.
