Some people learn by seeing, others by doing. If you fall into the latter category, IBS New York has something for you. At this year's event, held April 30 to May 2, we offer some special opportunities to learn with the best in our highly interactive hands-on workshops. You'll be able to closely observe techniques, ask questions and try the techniques yourself on a model or mannequin. Space is limited for these classes, so call 800-427-2420 now to buy your ticket, or visit www.ibsnewyork.com.
