If everyone could bring in their vehicle tag or a picture of their tag, that would be helpful to register them in the parking system. There will be signs around the main entrance to guide ppl to the appropriate location.
VM Check Monday, June 10 at the Event Hotel: Please test the VM install prior to arrival. Poor/slow VM performance can negatively affect your learning experience. Trainers will be available Monday evening at the hotel from 7:00 PM to 8:30 PM to verify correct VM installation and to update the VM with any last-minute curriculum changes. A limited number of pre-configured “loaner” laptops will be prepared as a contingency.
