Having come out of the closet last year as a "harmony slut", I would appreciate this year an opportunity to harmonise - and hear others harmonising. A workshop on some of the harmony styles that are more prevalent in the US (and therefore less well known to me) would be particularly interesting.

I also support the idea mentioned above for sessions on "how a song was written".

I would attend eagerly a session (led by Bobert?) on blues, especially discussing/demonstrating different styles of the blues.

For my part, I can offer songwriting workshops, and just to be different:

The opportunity for up to 4 individuals to learn to sing (and perform on the Sunday concert) a simple Byzantine hymn in 2- or 3-part harmony. It will have few words, and they will be provided in phonetics anyway. Reading music is unnecessary, as no "dots" will be used (they would not be so useful in the case of Byzantine music with its unusual intervals). Two one-hour sessions should be sufficient, I think.
