__Suggestion__: review [|session descriptions](PDF) beforehand, to get an idea of what sessions you want to attend. It is recommended that we split up so that pairs of us attend as many different sessions as as possible, rather than all of us clumping up in the same sessions and possibly missing something valuable in others... This will probably happen without too much planning since we are taking a large group this year, but lets meet at the Sunday evening dinner to go over our planned attendance just to make sure we are covering all the right stuff. __Session registration__: I think all the sessions are walk-in, that's how they were last year.

**Hotel Details**:
6325 N Quail Hollow Rd Memphis, TN 38120 Each of us has an individual non-smoking room with one queen bed. Wireless Internet worked well last year. This hotel is mediocre, but has the advantage of being a couple blocks of pleasant walking to the conference location (Lausanne Collegiate School), so we avoid having to get up early and ride the shuttle bus from downtown to Lausanne. We stayed there last year and it worked out very well. The "official conference hotel" is downtown and was all booked by the time we got to approval and reservations. You can see from this map how much closer we are to Lausanne: Here's the link to the Google Map if you want to zoom in and see what else is around Memphis: []
