Training

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How are trainings different from the conference?

   Instead of an overview of many topics, you spend 2 entire days diving deep into a single topic. All trainings are hands-on and the trainer-to-attendee ratio makes for a very personalized approach.

2. Are trainings sold separately?

   Yes. You have to purchase them separately.

3. Can I attend both a training and the main conference?

   Yes. They are on separate dates, which means that you can attend both.

4. Do I have to bring my laptop?

   Yes. Check the individual training for software that you need to pre-install.

5. Are these trainings eligible for the 1% training law?

   Yes, 89% of the ticket price is eligible.
