Schedule for the Day
This is a comprehensive course and a long day rich with information. We recommend you bring writing implements, whether that means your laptop, or a legal notepad and pens. The course includes lectures and hands-on exercises to apply the tools you are given, so be prepared to write! 

We will provide water to keep you hydrated. Please feel free to bring snacks for energy!
