Conference FAQ

Why does the conference start on Sunday and end on Wednesday?

The conference opening and closing sessions are scheduled for the greater convenience of those who travel longer distances and who stay overnight in the hotel. Traveling to the conference on a weekend offers the advantages of discount airfare, no time away from work, training opportunities, and sightseeing options. The time of the Closing Session allows attendees to check out of their rooms in the morning, enjoy half a day of activities, and to arrive home at a reasonable hour.
