***In Motion Program Check-In*** As our membership numbers grown, we are looking for ways to streamline our program check-in process. When you arrive at the In Motion program, please ensure that you check-in at the front desk - for attendance. Don't forget to bring your In Motion tag! Our presenters start at 9:00am sharp. Please ensure that you arrive early - as there is limited seating. In an effort to reduce distractions for the presenter and our In Motion members, the event room will be closed to late arrivals at 9:15am. Don't worry if the event room fills up or if you are late!! We will be opening the dome at 9:00 am for you to get a early start on activities .
