I have been turning segmented bowls for a couple years and am interested in learning more. Do you have any recommendations on any workshops or seminars I could attend? Thanks for you help.

I predict YES - we haven't locked in SIN yet
Those are the annual meetings of the segmented Chapter.

I've been a member of Segmented Woodturners for over 4 years and I think it's a great site. Many friendly and knowledgeable people to learn from.
Malcolm Tibbetts is teaching a segmenting workshop at Arrowmont in Gatlinburg, TN (6/29 - 7/12) and another at Marc Adams School in Franklin, IN (9/8 - 9/12) this year. Also, Curt Theobald is teaching another segmenting workshop at Arrowmont (10/5 -10/11). Malcolm and Curt are arguably the best and most innovative segmenters alive. Not only are they good at their trade but also they are excellent instructors.

I would strongly urge you to buy Malcolm Tibbets book on segmented turning. I bought a bunch of books on segmented or polychromatic turning and his is the best. I also have a friend who took one of his classes and he can't stop talking about how much he learned.
I couldn't agree more on this!
I'll be there and I can't wait!
Malcolm will have Ray Feltz come as a guest on the second week I hear. Ray does some amazing miniature open segmented work.
