Workshops combine a mix of client case studies, interactive working groups, and informal networking to help attendees build and share best practices with other clients in the KA Advance community. We also share our product roadmap and demonstrate our latest technology from the lab. Synthesis Workshops are free of charge and limited to active clients of Knowledge Architecture.
