This information is for anyone interested in organizing a workshop for the 2011 Congress. Workshops are a place to educate participants on the most important issues facing epidemiologists. Workshops are held the day before the start of the congress, and are generally well attended.

Some things to consider as you prepare your proposal:

• Workshops can be one-half to a full day.
• Workshops can cover a wide range of topics, from the latest in theoretical methods to public health policy.
• Workshops should be educational, and not just a series of research presentations.
• The best workshops often cover material that is of interest to novices and experts in a particular area.
• Interaction with workshop participants--getting them to think hard about the concepts presented--is often very valuable.
• The Congress may organize all aspects of the workshop.  If so, they will defray the costs of speakers in the workshops.  It may also be possible for sponsoring groups to oversee the workshops and to take on the organization and financial aspects of the workshop.
• Several workshops will be offered on the same day.
  

APPLICATIONS ARE DUE BY SEPTEMBER 30, 2010.
