The preconference tour dates differ on different documents. What day does tour begin and when does it conclude
Hi Chris, The pre-conference tour runs from July 7-9. I was using information from a draft itinerary, and mistakenly kept the wrong dates. I will update the dates on my documents, asap. Thank you for bringing this to my attention.
The documents on our website should now be corrected to reflect the correct dates (July 7-9th).
Hi Gail,
I’m bringing a couple and my spouse from Hawaii to the conference. Can I register them all to be eligible for tour activity?
Thanks.
