Tips for First Time attendees

 

Dress

  • Wear comfortable shoes.
  • Bring a sweater – it gets cold in the meeting rooms.

Travel

  • Use a credit card to check into your hotel. Hotels will hold available credit for incidentals. If you use a debit card and you have a limited amount of funds in your account, you might not be able to access your money.

Registration

  • Don’t stress if you don’t receive your registration packet in the mail, bring a copy of your confirmation letter to registration. You can get everything you need there!
  • Lines are long at registration on Wednesday morning. If you don’t need your badge first thing, come in the early afternoon to pick up your materials.
