What's the best single technical workshop you've seen? Whether because of how informative, impactful, interesting, or useful it was to you, what was the best and why?
For me I have to choose the OG nostr workshop by @supertestnet NOSTR WORKSHOP
This was my first exposure to nostr and in the course of about an hour super took me from a nostr noob to someone who could build their first nostr app! This was a very easy introduction for me, I was quickly able to catch up to the latest in the spec from what I learned in the workshop and was soon making more original and advanced nostr apps myself.
In hindsight this workshop had a HUGE impact on me because now a lot of the work I do involves nostr and I've been able to survive for about 6 months contracting and mostly doing nostr development for some small projects/startups.
Oh, man. So many good ones. My favorite so far was Andrew Poelstra's Codex32 workshop - shamir's secret sharing by hand (paper, pencil, dice and volvelle) at the inaugural BTC++. Justin Moon's Fedimint workshop at TABconf22 was a close second. (My first experience using Chaumian ecash.)

this one, and the all the white board sessions i've ever seen done by carman, nifty, super, murch, topher and others
the most entertaining ones are pleblab hackathon presentations and the memorable ones that i recall have done by casey, marcus and d++

I haven't watched many workshops but @PlebLab has some workshop superstars: @supertestnet always entertains and makes it really easy to get to the point, @bitcoinplebdev explains how foundational software works really well, and @BlueSlime is incredibly thorough and deep.
If I had to pick a favorite, I'd rank them by how much I was surprised to learn. @rodarmor's Ordinals Workshop is probably near or at the top.

I liked @k00b 's web of trust workshop a whole lot and I think he should deliver it again
