Q. Can I buy a party ticket once I get to the conference?
A.
Well…in theory, yes. But for the past several years in a row we have sold out of party tickets several weeks before the conference even starts. If you want to come, your best bet is to purchase your ticket a month or two in advance.

Q. Once I'm registered, when will I get my badge?

If you're in the United States, your badge will be mailed to you. If you're coming from outside the US (including Canada), you'll pick up your badge at the onsite registration desk.

Q. Do I need to sign up for each class I want to attend?
A.
No. You may attend any session you want. But arrive early, since rooms fill up fast.

Q. When will I get my workbook?
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..

Midnight Madness tickets will be handed out in front of the NAPP store at a to be determined date to the first 200 individuals.

Yes—we will make special arrangements at a hotel in Boston. This hotel will be the "official host" hotel for the conference. For more information click here.

Q. How close are these hotels to the convention center?
A.
The "offical host" will be conveniently located next to or at the conference location.

Q. I decided to come at the last minute. What are the hours for on-site registration?
