Additional notes from Kyle Jordan:
There is an opening reception Sunday evening at the hotel at 6:00. The conference officially starts Monday, May 21 at 8:00 and runs through morning sessions on Wednesday (until 11/noon, usually).
Fly into the Raleigh/Durham airport (RDU). The hotel is fairly close to the airport – a shuttle that will pick you up if you call the hotel once you land. Otherwise, cab/uber/lyft can get you there quickly. If you’re driving in to RTP, the hotel has free parking.
