Interactive Workshops

As a part of making Nordic Domain Days the best possible event, we work with our partners to develop something special for the program. Held away from what happens on stage and with a higher level of interactivity, Workshops are where our partners bring an additional dimension to the conference by offering more specific topics to a group of participants.

The topic could be an in-depth look at something discussed at a glance on stage or something completely new, and the size of the group can vary from twenty and upward. Is there a topic that you think would make an interesting workshop at Nordic Domain Days? Let us know, and maybe one of our partners will put your idea on the agenda!
