Someone I know only attended a workshop this year. Is this fine, should we call out that people can do that?

<h2>Format</h2>
<p>Code4Lib is an annual 3.5-day conference, with most sessions being
single-track. Below is a summary of the session types, with information
about how they are selected:</p>
<ul>
<li><em>Keynotes</em>: 45-minute invited talks. Nominated speakers
are voted on by the community, and the Keynote Committee confirms
the highest-rated speakers based on availability. There are
typically two keynote talks, starting the first and third days of
the main conference.</li>
<li><em>Talks</em>: 10-20 minutes talks. Proposed talks are voted
on by the community, and the Program Committee selects from among
the most highly-rated talks to build a diverse and balanced program.
There are typically about 7 blocks of talks, including a total of
about 30 talks.</li>
<li><em>Lightning Talks</em>: 5-minute informal (slides-optional)
talks, attendees sign up in-person (first come, first served). There
are typically three blocks, each including 10 Lightning Talks.
Lightning Talks are reserved for attendees who are not otherwise
presenting, particularly first-time attendees.</li>
<li><em>Breakouts</em>: 45-minute parallel-track discussion
sessions. Attendees propose sessions in-person, and attendees choose
which session to attend (typically two blocks of Breakouts, with
3-10 sessions proposed in each block.</li>
<li><em>Posters</em>: 30-60 minute session with 10-20 posters
presented by attendees. Proposed posters are selected by the Program
Committee.</li>
<li><em>Workshops</em>: 3- or 6-hour workshops, typically held the
first or last day of the conference. There are typically 6-10
workshops held each year. Workshops are an optional add-on to the
main conference, or can be attended separately (space-permitting).
