LOGISTICS / REGISTRATION & FOOD

Please arrive by 9:30am so we can be settled in by 10am and start on time. We will have pastries and bagels for breakfast but no coffee so bring your own if you need it. Lunch will be brought in at 12:00pm.

We should have vegetarian and vegan options but may not have other dietary options. However, we are located in the heart of Union Square so we hope to give folks time to run down and get something alternative if they want to do so.
