Taught by academic and industry experts, the small class size makes for an excellent opportunity for personalized instruction helping both novices and experts advance their technical expertise and knowledge.

Pre-registration for short courses is required. The early bird deadline is September 1, 2017. Any additional registrations after this date will be based on space availability. All short course materials are prepared in digital format and are sent to registrants prior to arrival. If printed materials are desired, registrants will be responsible for the printing of materials and costs associated.
The registration fee for each course includes participation in the course, materials, continental breakfast, luncheon, and refreshment breaks; the short course registration fee does not include or apply to the general meeting registration, and it is not applicable to any other activities of the meeting. All individuals participating in short courses along with the meeting are required to register for both events.
Attendees are highly encouraged to bring their own PC laptop for the hands-on session in the afternoon. Attendees without access to a PC laptop are advised to contact the organizers at least one week in advance of the event so that alternative arrangements can be made.
