Afternoon Workshops
Workshops are a favorite of Chatbot Summit Attendees! They are designed to be deep-dive and interactive sessions ranging between 90-180 minutes and suitable for both beginners, intermediate and advanced. You will not have to worry about feeling lost because they are small, intimate groups of 40-60 people. You will be able to ask the workshop leaders questions throughout the entire experience as they provide you with the most significant learnings and practical tools that can be applied to you own work post-summit! Be prepared to learn because workshops include a mixture of presentations, interactive activities, and ample time for Q&A. Our goal is that you leave feeling enriched, inspired, and ready to tackle your own solutions!
