How to get the most out of this workshop

This workshop is primarily a series of short demos.
Experience and attendee feedback has shown that most users in this setting (attending a major conference, potentially limited internet, lecture seating) are usually looking to evaluate and follow up with information rather than detailed training.
Slides and tutorials will be available at this link for follow up at your own pace.
The workshop will conclude with resources on how to follow up and get more help and training.
