I’m a old print designer switching to web. I’ve done a few WP sites using and customizing existing themes. Would love to learn more and am excited there’s knowledge here in Tucson.
Do I need to be a TDAC member to attend?
Where is the workshop?
Thanks!
Paula

Paula,
This is a free event and is open to everyone. It’s most likely going to be at 115 E Broadway Blvd., though if the interest is high we may end up having it at The Screening Room. Either way it will be in downtown Tucson.
