Are Workshop Titles Italicized?
Workshop-title formatting is a house-style choice. Georgia College explicitly separates workshops from course titles and says workshop titles are not italicized, so the page avoids presenting italics as a universal requirement.
Not necessarily. Georgia College’s house style explicitly says workshop titles are not italicized; follow the style that governs your document.
Key details
Important caveats
Scope Boundary
This is a house-style convention, not a universal grammar rule; a publisher, association, or institution can prescribe a different treatment.
Further guidance
Example
House-style invented example: Community Mapping Workshop appears in roman type when following the cited no-italics workshop convention.
Practical Application
Treat workshop-title styling as a house-style choice. Under the cited Georgia College convention, workshop titles are not italicized.
Reader Check
Check the institution or publication governing the document before generalizing the rule; another house style can prescribe different typography.
Recommendation
When following an institutional style that treats workshops as event names, keep the workshop title in roman type unless that style says otherwise.
