WORKSHOP IS...

According to Ron Katz

• Workshops are usually longer, often 1 to 2 days.
• Seminars are usually 90 minutes to 3 hours.
• Workshops include far more interactive exercises.
• Seminars are frequently more lecture driven with less participant interaction other than answering questions.
• Often the questions at a seminar are at the end of the presentation. At a workshop, handle the questions as they arise and often turn them into group discussions.
• Workshops are usually smaller, 25 people or less. Seminars are often over 100 people.
• Workshops usually have a workbook handout of 50-100 pages.
• Seminars have more limited handouts, often just a printout of the PowerPoint presentation.

The words are often used interchangeably, but these are the differences I see. I use the above “definitions” when discussing with clients what they want.
