Conference Desk Check-In
All attendees, including workshop speakers and organizers, MUST
check-in at the Conference Desk in Berkner Hall to pick up their
personalized meeting badge (to be worn at all times while onsite), meeting
packet and meal tickets. Do not go directly to
any meeting or workshop until you have checked in at the Conference
Desk. The meeting badge is required to access workshops, meetings
and to regain access to BNL if you drive offsite. All information pertinent to the meeting and workshops will
be in your packet together with paid receipts and credit card slips.
There will be assistants at each workshop location verifying attendance
and ensuring meals and beverage services run smoothly.
