WUC 2008 Schedule

Workshops

WebGUI Workshops take place August 26th - 27th. 

Because we want you to get the most out of your WUC experience, we are offering two full days of workshops to fully prepare you for the wealth of information presented at the conference. These workshops are aimed at new users of WebGUI.  Each workshop is conducted by members of the Plain Black staff. Class sizes will be small, so we can ensure all individual questions and concerns are addressed in a personal and comfortable environment.  We will also be leaving time throughout both days where we'll help you work directly on any specific projects or sites you're currently involved in.  So please bring any questions that have been nagging you or have you stumped.

Since these workshops are supplementary to the WUC, they can be purchased and attended separately from the WUC itself. The workshops consist of two tracks, one for content managers and another for designers. Each track runs for two days and begins at 9:00 am and runs through 4:30 pm or until there are no more questions.
