 There's workshops and there's workshops...

 That web page lists only the pre-conference, paid-for, booked up and
busy workshops.

 The scheduling for the additional workshops, to run alongside the
presentations, has only recently been completed - we had to do a
thorough check that none of the workshop presenters were scheduled
alongside their presentations and so on. They'll go up on the web, as
"Community Workshops", sometime soon, along with the plenary session
info and the currently up-to-date presentation timetable.

 But I can tell you that "Big Data In Geo" is scheduled for Saturday
morning. Our Workshop Team should be announcing everything soon, and
also inviting you to subscribe to the workshop mailing list for
details on what you need to do to prepare.
