The workshop will be conducted on July 24-26, 2024 at Saint Louis University in St Louis, Missouri. The final day will conclude at 12:30 pm for the convenience of departure transportation.

In addition to the on-site event, the workshop will include 3 required pre-workshop asynchronous sessions with new content. There will also be a post-workshop synchronous session for participants to share their experiences in applying the knowledge and skills learned from the workshop.

The registration fee includes a dinner and social event on the second day at a nearby Topgolf facility. No golf experience or equipment is necessary to enjoy the fun indoors. Participants may also enjoy the networking without any golf activity.
