Course descriptions and fees are posted below.

Please be aware that the purchase of a general conference pass does not include registration for the short courses. Separate registration and fees are required to attend any of the short courses, and this does not grant access to the general conference. To attend both the general conference and the short courses, registrations for both must be purchased.

Please note that courses may be cancelled if there are insufficient registrations. A full refund or transfer to another short course can be offered based on availability.
