Hybrid Courses Offered

Two courses will be offered in a hybrid format at RCon. Four to five weeks before RCon, course participants will attend live, instructor-led virtual sessions that cover specific modules of the courses. Once on-site in Columbus, attendees will attend sessions with instructors in-person to complete instruction. Both virtual and in-person sessions will be interactive and encourage questions and discussion throughout. Each course will also feature an onsite tour specifically tailored for course participants.  

Registration for hybrid courses will close September 29, 2025. On-site registration will not be available.
