C2026 is proud to offer a series of workshops oriented around the conference theme. They are listed below and each title is linked to a complete description of the workshop.

These workshops are offered online to declutter the conference program and to enable participation for people who are not able to attend in person in Edmonton. They are planned for the two weeks preceding the conference, from May 11 to May 22. Their timing within the day is also planned to facilitate participation from across Canada.

Participation in the conference workshops is open to all, regardless of attendance in Edmonton. Prices have been kept low (compared to the competition) to support participation. Workshop leaders have identified a cap to the number of participants. Workshops will be marked as full as they fill up.
