If you register prior to midnight August 22 you will have a badge waiting for you at the security desk upon building entry. Please have your government issued photo ID (preferably a valid driver's license or passport) ready to present. Your event badge and conference materials will be downstairs where they are hosting the main event. Event hosted meals and breaks will take place in the event area. Internet access There will be only 40 internet access cards (with usernames) available. They will have to be shared among all of the attendees. Only one person per username at a time. Electrical outlets for laptops and equipment will be provided in an ante room next to the main conference room for charging. There are NO ELECTRICAL OUTLETS available in the main conference room. Specific power strips will be available for recharging your devices. Please do not use any 'taped' outlets as this may cause an overload in the electrical circuitry and could cause an outage.
