Registration and Check-In

The Ampersand will be closed for our event. If  you'd like to bring in coffee/tea or water, please purchase these in advance from any number of nearby vendors.

Please plan to complete registration prior to 11:50 a.m., as our event program will start at Noon sharp, and late arrivals will not be seated until a break between speakers.
