NEW THIS YEAR!- An outdoor exhibit area to showcase innovative items as well as some just really fun things for the vector control industry. This area is between the meeting space and exhibit pavilion so you wont be able to miss them. Please visit all our exhibitors and sponsors. Without them, we cannot put on this conference!
Meals
This year we are providing 2 lunches for all attendees and a very light morning break around mid-morning (coffee, pastries and fruit). Please make sure to plan accordingly if you need a more hearty breakfast.
Speakers
All speakers have been given the information on how to upload their talks and where they can do it while onsite. If you are a speaker and have not received this information, please let Rachel know.
Meeting room locations
The meeting rooms are adjacent to the pavilion in the Mission and Bayview Ballrooms. We will also have the poster sessions in this area. You do not have to walk far to enjoy everything the conference has to offer!
Gold card scanning
NEW This year! Please make sure to have your Gold Card with you so we may scan them as you walk into the sessions.
DPR/REHS Sign in
There will be an area next to the registration desk where the DPR and REHS sign in sheets will be housed. You must sign in in this area to receive these credits as well, the gold card scanning does not work for these two items.
Volunteers are still needed!
Please use the link below if you are able to give a little bit of your time during the conference. Volunteers are the back bone of making this conference work so if you can help out, please do!
We are really needing help for registration from 2-6PM on Sunday and again first thing Monday morning. This is really when we have the rush of attendees picking up their items.
For those who have signed up, thank you so much! Please arrive to the registration desk 5 minutes before your shift so we can give you instructions and get the other volunteers on their way.
Weather in San Diego
San Diego is known for a very moderate temperature year round. This year, like a lot of California, they've had quite a bit of rain and the weather is slightly cooler than usual. Tuesday's banquet will be outdoors, there will be space heaters provided but please make sure to bring a light jacket or sweater for the evening.
