An Important Note About WiFi at the Pre-Conference
On the back of your name badge you will find a WiFi username and password that should work across the UW campus. Throughout the day, you are welcome to use the Reading Room in Comm. Room 204 or the Mary Gates Commons room (the main hall in that building). However, we encourage participants attending panels to resist the temptation to multi-task.
