Which workshops do agents like best?

I know agent Colleen Lindsay says she likes three workshops so much she even wants you to mention them in your query!!

I know I've sometimes seen other agents state they're impressed with certain workshops, but I'm not finding the blog posts at present. Can anyone help me out by adding more?

If you attend Clarion, it will definitely open doors for you in the speculative fiction world. Outside the genre, however, I wonder how aware people are of what Clarion is and does. So whether a workshop will impress an agent probably depends a lot on context.

Unfortunately, there aren't many part-time writers (especially with day jobs) who can handle nearly 6 weeks off to travel to California.

Are agents only interested in an author listing a workshop when you can?
