Registration / CHECK IN
Registration is between 8:00 am and 8:45 am. You do not have to arrive exactly at 8:00, but you do want some time for networking and helping to create the session board. At the registration desk, you will get a name tag, post-it notes, and your raffle ticket for the end of the day (and we have a lot of stuff from our awesome sponsors). Either ahead of time or once you arrive, we want you to introduce yourself on FlipGrid, so you can make meaningful connections and expand your PLN. The password is #sweetpd, obviously.
There will be light refreshments and session building time in the cafeteria. While we are feeding you, you are a captive audience, so we will explain the Edcamp model and outline the day. If you are completely unfamiliar with the Edcamp Model, we created a Nearpod to walk you through what to expect (Join Code: VMLXP). There will be four sessions. Everything you need to know for the schedule is on the website.

What to Wear / Bring
The dress code is casual. Whatever you want to wear to be comfortable. A shirt with a logo of your favorite tech tool can be a great conversation starter. If bow ties give you confidence, go for it. You might want the option of layers; the building temperature can be unpredictable at times. Most likely it will be very tropical in the morning and get cooler as the day progresses.
You will walk away with many ideas, so be prepared to record them either with a device or on paper. Sessions do not have to be about technology, but many times they will be, so bring a device so you can play along with everyone else. Wi-Fi will be available in all rooms; you will be able to join the Guest Network without a password. Instead of using projectors to share information with other people (and to resist the urge to present with a PowerPoint or such), there are Google Docs linked on the schedule so everyone can share information/resources that way.
