Planning Notes
- It is highly recommended that you book your travel arrangements much sooner than usual.
- We have reason to believe that rooms, rental cars, and flights may fill up fast for that weekend. Be prepared!
- You will likely want to rent a car, though you may also rely on Uber and Lyft
- The conference will begin Thursday morning and conclude Saturday night
