Some of these sessions are best done with hands-on lab work, while others are pure theory.  However, all of them are worth taking notes and then follow-up either through questions during the presentation or via email after the fact.  We also post the slide decks in PDF form shortly (days or weeks) after completing a presentation.  Likewise, you can search this site for follow-up presentations, articles, and podcast episodes.
