Dietary Restrictions:

We will do our best to provide accommodate allergies, dietary restrictions, and any other dietary preferences and observances noted in your conference registration. Please ask a volunteer at meals and breaks if you have questions.

If you received a food-related sticker in your registration packet, this means that we are keeping a meal aside for you to ensure that you have food that satisfies your dietary needs. Put this sticker on the back of your name tag. During meals, please stand in line with the other participants. When you get to the front, simply show your sticker to any volunteer or committee member and we will get your meal for you.
