WORKSHOP: How to Read a White Paper

Reading a white paper is not the same as reading a blogpost or a book, and as practitioners, not all of us received this training during our education. As part of an effort to make paper we love more accessible to a larger group of people, we'll be workshopping techniques for successfully reading, understanding, evaluating, and presenting white papers.

This workshop will be valuable for beginners and seasoned veterans alike, and we hope to gain new members and inspire more speakers through the event. Think of it as a guided read-a-thon. So bring a friend, and a white paper or two :)
