Training — the day before launch

Paid, hands-on, full-day workshops running the Friday before the main event. Small cohorts, practitioner instructors, real labs. Bring a laptop, leave with new muscle.

Full-day intensives

8 hours of hands-on instruction, not a lecture marathon.

Small cohorts

Capped student counts so instructors can actually help you.

BYOL labs

What it costs

Training is paid: instructor stipends, course materials, lab infrastructure, and venue all get funded from the ticket price. Student and community discounts are available, reach out if cost is a blocker and we'll work something out.
