The theme of this year's workshop is "Closing the Distance". This has the dual meaning of bringing people together from around the globe but also a combat idea of exploring range. We want to explore what can happen when we not only get in distance but close the distance in a fun and creative way. We can't wait for you to join us in Banff!
