Answers
Frequently asked questions
Are these guides written for first-time delegates?
They are written for anyone who has to make decisions about the week — first-timers most of all, but the logistics and access pieces are as useful to people who have been ten times and never had to book it themselves.
How often are the guides updated?
Ahead of each Annual Meeting, and during the week when something material changes. Dates, venues and access rules move; the guides are revised rather than reposted.
