World Conference workshops

World Conference Workshop News As part of our World Conference in Boulder in July, FFI is offering a variety of training workshops led by experienced FFI staff and volunteers from around the world. Attending these workshops is a great way to explore a particular topic in more depth and meet colleagues with similar interests. This year we’ve changed the World Conference format to include even more time for workshops: right after lunch on July 24th and then all day on July 25th.
