Get a little education while having fun at the fest!

All seminars are held in meeting rooms across the hall from the festival. Make sure to get stamped so you can get back in the fest afterwards.

In most cases, beverages will be served at the seminars. You cannot bring beverages into the seminar room. Seminar fees, which cover materials, will be collected at the door. Seminars run approximately 45-55 minutes.
