PARKING
To avoid parking fees, we suggest that before you exercise your brain, you exercise your legs and park “free” at the nearby PWR facility while attending the conference activities at the Hilton.  The Hilton is 2 blocks away from the PWR facility.  Should you park at the Hilton and not stay there as a guest, you will be charged a visitor valet fee of $12 per day.

PRESENTATIONS
The presentations and papers prepared by our presenters will not be distributed at the conference.  Instead, shortly after the Forum, we will make these supplemental materials available on our website.  A post-Forum notice will be sent to all attendees to announce the posting of the files.

PURCHASE ITEMS
Several items to further our transformations will be available, with the added bonus of profits going back into the network.   Selected book titles including those written by speakers appearing at the conference. Additional In2:InThinking Network merchandise (Forum DVD sets, planners, shirts, mugs, and more!!!) will also be sold.
