 # Description
 
-Full workshop description goes here. Multi-paragraph ok.
+Data scientists understand what goes into training a machine learning or statistical model, but bringing that model into a production environment can be daunting. 
+
+This workshop will cover the fundamentals of MLOps (machine learning operations), the practices used to create a MLOps strategy, and what kinds of tasks and components are involved. We’ll use vetiver, a framework for MLOps tasks in Python and R, to version, deploy, and monitor the models you have trained and want to deploy and maintain in production reliably and efficiently.
 
 # Audience
 
-This course is for you if you:
+We expect participants to have exposure to basic modeling and machine learning practice, but NOT expert familiarity with advanced ML or MLOps topics.
+
+This workshop is for you if you:
 
--   list at least
+- have intermediate R or Python knowledge (this will be a “choose your own adventure” workshop where you can work through the exercises in either R or Python),
 
--   three attributes
+- can read data from CSV and other flat files, transform and reshape data, and make a wide variety of graphs, and
 
--   for your target audience
+- can fit a model to data with your modeling framework of choice.
