 # Description
 
-Full workshop description goes here. Multi-paragraph ok.
+As a data professional, you likely have to deal with databases that are larger than your available RAM.
+Downloading the data requires patience, applying traditional workflows is frustrating.
+This workshop will teach you to work with your (large) data:
+
+-   if it resides in a traditional database, effortlessly
+
+-   from local storage, using DuckDB, a modern database engine tailored to data analysis
+
+The workshop will introduce basic database concepts and move on with practical work with traditional databases and DuckDB.
+You are encouraged to bring your own data(base) to immediately apply what you have learned during the workshop.
+Among others, the workshop showcases the DBI, dbplyr, duckdb, duckplyr, and dm packages.
