Workshops are typically 60 minutes. However, they can be modified to meet the needs of your department. Workshops are delivered at a location you reserve and a time that is convenient for your department. For virtual meetings, the department is responsible for providing the speaker with a virtual link.  If an non-Hopkins vendor is conducting the workshop, the vendor will likely provide the virtual link.

Complete the registration form one month before your desired delivery date. Workshops are offered on a first-come, first-served basis and depend on our ability to coordinate the availability of speakers.

Unless otherwise indicated, there is no cost for the workshops.  If your department is requesting a specialized workshop not listed in the catalog, the department arranges the fee and processes the payment for the speaker.
