A. Workbooks will be handed out on the first day of full registration.
Q. Can I purchase extra workbooks?
A. If we have any workbooks left over at the end of the conference you will be able to purchase them on on last day of the conference.
Q. How should I dress?
A. We want you to be comfortable, so dress casually. If you wear shorts, t-shirts, sandals, etc. you'll be right at home. However, keep in mind that convention centers are notorious for keeping their classrooms quite cool, so even though it's hot outside, you still may want to bring a sweater so you don't get too chilly while inside.
Q. Will I be able to check my e-mail from the convention center?
A. If you have a laptop with a wireless connection you can access the Internet at our Wireless Internet Café, located in the expo hall..
