    I am interested in the Connection, Safety and Beauty: The Effects of Human-Centered Design workshop but see that there is a $500-$600 registration fee. Do you know of a way that I can your workshop only and not pay the registration fee? I am new to the field.

  2. Hi:

    I think that ASA is fairly strict about registrations – but I would give them a call and see if you can just register for a half day. They used to allow that – but I am not totally sure….

    LEt me know how it goes and maybe we can find some other creative way to help
