Letter+to+Presenters

From Barbara Swanson: April 2017

Dear workshop presenters: I am sending this to the “team leader” or the proposer for each workshop. If there are other presenters in your group, kindly forward so everybody has this information.

Exciting that TWT is less than a week away! Here, I hope, are the answers to your questions. Please save this in a easy-to-access place.

Take the elevator to 21 and walk up stairs to 22 where breakfast and registration will be in the cafeteria. Arrive anytime after 8:30. Opening announcements are at 9:30, first sessions begins right at 10:00 AM.
 * 1) **Workshop signups**: I have attached the list of everybody who has signed up for workshops. For each session, you can sort the list and search for your group. Feel free to email your attendees if you need to.
 * 2) **Rooms**: **Room numbers** have been added to the **Course Catalog**. Check for yours.
 * 3) On the **conference page** you will find the **floor plans**. All workshops are on floors 19 and 20 and they are shaded in blue.
 * 4) **Equipment**: Each room will have seating for 25. A few workshops are sold out and no more sign ups are possible in those. Also they will have a smart board. **Please bring your own laptop, dongle and power cord**. Some rooms might have laptops, but don’t count on it. If you are connecting to an iPad or other device, bring any adapters you might need. And remember that if all else fails, you’ll need to go to plan B.
