NOTE:  We have been asked whether a ticket option is available for participants that already have their Mead equipment to bring.  To ensure a uniform and cohesive experience for all participants, we have decided that the all-inclusive ticket is the only option to participate. This approach allows us to follow the same formulas and processes, and provide a better experience for both the presenter and attendees. By using identical equipment, we can ensure that everyone can fully engage in the hands-on learning activities without any variations. We believe this will enhance the overall workshop experience and help everyone get the most out of the session.
