The conference venue has said they won't allow any outside food in their dining room.

Can somebody please tell me what is scheduled for Saturday morning, before lunch?  A friend and are driving back home on that day ( 10 + hours, with a baby), and we are trying to decide what time to leave...and try to get on the road as early as possible and eat lunch on the way maybe.  

If it's something that's a must, however, we don't want to miss it!    ( I couldn't find a schedule of sessions/breakouts, etc., sorry if it's somewhere obvious and I'm just missing it) 

Thank You!

We haven't posted an official schedule yet. Saturday morning will have one plenary, plus a discussion with Advisory children and an Advisory Q&A. Group photo at 10:45 followed by check-out, then lunch. That might possibly change but probably won't.

Is there anytime set aside in the offical conference to form groups by geography? I just thought it would be a really great way to network.

It's official -- I'm going to the conference!  My husband and by-then 7 month old will be with me and I am super excited! But I am also a little nervous because I am fairly new here and don't know anyone yet. Looking forward to really, actually, truly *meeting* some of you and hoping to gain some new friends during the conference!

I really would love to attend this. I'd be flying in from overseas at 1:45 p.m. Anyone willing to pick me up on their way?
