I've just spent this afternoon at a 'workshop' that was anything but; just
panel presentations. Still interesting, but not practical. I vote
absolutely and utterly for 'hands-on' over panel presentations and
discussions. As much as possible, the opportunity to try out the different
systems under author's guidance would be great.
Maybe others disagree, but I think calling it a 'workshop session' when its
really a panel is misleading.
