Half-day workshops will be held on the pre-conference day, Wednesday 22 October, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA, and are now open for registration.
These events are a great way to enhance your learning and networking experience at the conference. They are also a great option for those who are unable to attend the entire Annual Conference but still want to participate in important conversations about health related quality of life research.
Workshops are ticketed events and require pre-registration. You may add your workshop registration on to your overall conference registration,* or register for single events at the non-conference attendee rate. View further information and ticket prices below.
Please note: because event times overlap, attendees are limited to one morning workshop ticket and one afternoon workshop ticket.
