Workshops and Short Courses
The cornerstone of the Emerson Global Users Exchange is the wealth of knowledge and experience shared by users. It's a unique opportunity for you to learn best practices, implementation successes, tips and tricks, and proven project solutions. More than 350 Workshops and Short Courses are planned this year, covering a wide spectrum of industry and technology specific topics.
Workshop (45 minutes): Typically presents a case history, a project experience, and/or specific tips or techniques used (or learned) during a project implementation
Short Course (minimum of 90 minutes, maximum of 3 hours): Provides organized instruction on a particular technology, application, project tool, or methodology
