Workshops

Detailed information about the 2012 Workshops is not yet available but will be posted in the future. Please review the 2011 Workshops below for a look at the quality of instructors, teaching, and content that will be available in the 2012 Forum’s Workshops.

All European Leadership Forum participants have the opportunity to attend two workshops each day of the Forum.

Luncheon Workshops are optional and are conducted from 13.45 to 15.00.

Standard Workshops are conducted each day from 16.00 to 17:30.

This year we have slightly modified the process for signing up for workshops.

Step 1 – Review the Luncheon Workshops and Standard Workshops below.

Step 2 - Once you have decided which Luncheon Workshops and Standard Workshops you would like to attend, log back into your registration account using the link below ("register here"). Once you have signed back in to your account, visit the Agenda section of your account. There you will be able to select the Luncheon Workshops and Standard Workshops that you would like to attend.

(You will notice that the links below are a bit different than in previous years. When you click on a link in the table, it will take you to a page for that workshop speaker so that you can see all of his or her speaking topics. You will find the speaker's bio at the top of each linked page.)

In order to receive the proper materials for each workshop (outlines, notes, etc.), you will need to sign up. You will not receive these materials in your Forum binder if you do not sign up. The deadline for signing up for the workshops is Wednesday, 13 April.
