The organizers need to know if you are attending lunch and dinner. You are welcome to bring friends/family to dinner, but give us a number so we can reserve an appropriate number of seats.

Parking: Unfortunately, parking is not free on Saturdays until 2pm. Therefore, non-GMU attendees should park in the Sandy Creek Parking Deck, which is right behind Science and Tech. I.
