About Your Event

WORKSHOPS are characterized by a single presentation to a single group of people, with a high level of attendee participation. SEMINARS are like workshops but with a lower level of participation (not recommended unless required by the event organizer). A BOOTH or POSTER is for multiple short interactions with many smaller groups of individuals.
