Workshops are delivered by Johns Hopkins subject matter experts and external providers, depending on the topic.

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.
