HDC starts out Wednesday providing the ability for attendees to take part in hands on labs conducted by the HDC presenters. Each class will be 4 hours in length and the schedule will be completely up to the presenter/instructor within that 4 hour block. Hands-on lab tickets can be purchased through the registration system for an additional fee of only $25 per class, a portion of which will be paid directly to the presenter/instructor.

For less than the price of a single book, you can have 4 hours of hands on training with an expert instructor, hundreds of dollars less than a traditional class.

The first set of classes will begin at 8AM on Wednesday with the second set of classes kicking off at 1PM after an hour lunch break.  Drinks and snacks will be provided throughout the day around the conference area.

The only things we require you bring are your energy and your laptop.  We will not be providing any computing equipment.  Setup will be classroom style and you will have access to wireless internet and power.

Classes are first come, first serve, and seating is limited.  Register today.  If you have any questions, please contact us for further clarification.
