As with the conference itself, this year’s workshops will look and feel different from previous years, with a “hybrid” approach that will include some in-person live workshops on Wednesday, April 14, 2021, at the Hilton New Orleans Riverside and some virtual live workshops in the weeks leading up to the conference. The committee is currently working to determine the best mix of in-person and virtual workshops. Please look for more detailed workshop descriptions in the preconference announcement and on the SIOP website when conference registration opens.
