IEP Workshop Registration - Opens Friday, March 15, 2024
Greetings IEP Community Members,
Everyone has been waiting in anticipation for the 2024 IEP Annual Workshop. Registration opens this Friday, March 15, 2024 at 7:00 a.m. PDT.
Registration Links
The registration links are posted on the IEP Annual Workshop web page. The workshop is a free, hybrid event that will be hosted April 23-25, 2024 at the California Natural Resources Agency (CNRA) building (715 P Street, Sacramento).
In-Person Registration
Want to attend the workshop in-person? Register on our EventBrite 2024 IEP Annual Workshop Registration page. Registration opens March 15 at 7:00 a.m. PDT.
Live presentations will be given in the CNRA auditorium (1st floor), and posters will be showcased on the 2nd floor (rooms 2-221B+C). Seating is limited in the auditorium for the live presentations, so reservations are required. Tickets for the in-person event will be distributed on a first come, first served basis. Once seating capacity in the auditorium is reached for each day, then only remote attendance will be available for that day.
The building is open to the public, so no reservations are required to see the posters on the 2nd floor. An overflow seating area is located in room 2-221 A next to the poster session, where ~30 participants can watch the live stream of the presentations in the auditorium.
Remote Attendance Registration
For those who cannot come in-person, they can watch the live stream of the presentations on Zoom. Registration for Zoom remote attendance is also posted on the IEP Annual Workshop web page.
April 18 Remote Data Training Course & Registration
A remote Data Training Course is being offered on April 18. Check out the Data Training Course flyer (pdf) for more information.
