I can ask - but it isn't my event, I was just posting the information about it. I'll ask the organizers, though.

Looks like a very hands on workshop, but they do have a forum:


No stream/webcast is mentioned, and they specifically speak of the workshop being limited, so I am guessing that a stream isn't in their plans.
