Plan your visit

Choose a course according to your experience and objectives rather than treating the whole week as one general admission conference. Review prerequisites, laptop and software requirements, the course timetable, and whether certification exams are included in your selected purchase. In-person classes meet at 511 N. Columbus Drive.
