Updates

Check-­‐In  Information  Volunteers  will  be  stationed  at  the  hotel  to  direct  NCCs  to  the  check-­‐in  

room.    

NCCs,  please  be  sure  to  have  the  following  materials  ready  for  an  efficient  check-­‐in:    

• Registration  check  (if  you  did  not  mail  it  to  us!)  • Delegate  waivers  

• Pop-­‐tabs    • Display  

Check-­‐in  will  close  at  6:30pm  for  opening  ceremonies.  Following  opening  ceremonies,  late  check-­‐in  will  be  held  at  conference  

headquarters  in  the  hotel.    

Shuttle  Information  There  will  be  constant  shuttles  running  throughout  the  conference  weekend,  with  

additional  shuttles  running  during  busy  times.  Each  delegation  will  be  assigned  a  certain  shuttle,  which  will  be  listed  on  your  conference  nametag.  We  encourage  your  delegation  to  use  the  shuttle  system  rather  than  drive  as  parking  on  KU’s  campus  near  our  locations  is  minimal  and  requires  a  fee.    

Safety  Information    As  with  any  trip  to  a  new  place,  please  be  attentive  to  your  surroundings  to  

ensure  safety.  At  KU,  we  use  the  Jayhawk  Buddy  System,  making  sure  that  when  you  go  somewhere,  you  go  with  your  buddy,  stay  with  your  buddy  throughout  the  

night,  and  make  sure  to  leave  and  return  home  with  your  buddy.
