What are the expectations of attendees?
Arrow
  • Give the meeting your full attention to ensure you get the most out of each session.
  • Turn off distractions like phones and laptop notifications. Sound off!
  • Jackets on for meeting days.

Do I need to bring anything to the meetings?
Arrow

We recommend bringing a laptop, a notepad with a pen or pencil, your cellphone, and any chargers you may need. Please plan to bring only one bag, as space will be limited and you’ll want to keep your seating area clear and comfortable.
