The AAT meetings were moved out of the ballroom because the Hyatt tried to put another meeting in the Pavilion which would have required that all the exhibitors break down and set up again. That meeting was moved to the ballroom displacing the AATs. Time slots in the program are called strands. There are six strands but the program format is the same. Today's rain may keep more people in the hotel for dinner.
Affinity groups can request a room to which they can carry their buffet plates.
There is a new policy for handouts. Board members are asked to assist the presenters in remembering the new procedure should the presenter run out of handouts. Handouts are to be given out just as the session starts not when the door opens. If more are needed, the presenter should turn in the sign-up sheet and one original or excellent copy of the complete handout. All presenters were required to pre-register and all rooms are equipped with an overhead projector.
