Parking on Campus:

When you check in you will receive a conference parking pass that will allow you to park in the visitor/conference parking lot across from the Memorial Union.  If you choose to park closer in the metered parking spots make sure you have enough quarters to get you to 4:30 when they stop ticketing or assume responsibility for all tickets. You do not need quarters or parking passes for Saturday. Parking Maps are located in your conference booklet.

People who are presenting at the conference and need technology:

To be fully prepared, please save your presentation in several ways, including on a flash drive, in a Google folder, and on your laptop.  The projectors in the art department will hook up to a laptop with an HDMI cable. If you are presenting in Memorial Union on Friday, there will be tech support, but that does not necessarily mean they will have the cord/dongles you need.
