Hi all-
We are exploring the idea of offering workshops to professionals, and groups from businesses looking for either CEU credits or general "creativity at work" or team-building kinds of opportunities.  For those of you at museums and institutions that are currently offering this kind of thing, I just wanted to ask what your experience has been like. What kind of format do you use (more lecture/talk or more workshop)?  What kinds of groups have you served?  And what has the demand been?

Many thanks in advance for any input!
