Happy Friday and glad you are here!
When you arrive at Loudermilk Center, a Camp Support volunteer near the door will check you in. Then pick up your name badge and lanyard at the Registration Desk on your right.
Parking
Parking decks are adjacent to the venue. Turn right from Courtland St. into the alley; you’ll pass the event entrance, then you’ll enter the parking on your right. Be sure to bring your parking ticket with you to get the discounted parking rate ($8 instead of $16).
You’ll pay for parking at a table in the lobby. Look for the table late morning or after lunch. Credit cards and exact cash are accepted.
