All,

We are officially two weeks away from Tempe!!  We will have a record number of attendees and vendors. Here is some basic information to get you thinking about your trip!

Weather:  


Dress code: Business casual for the conference. For the welcome event, please sport your college apparel and be comfortable.  Top  Golf on Tuesday night is also casual.  Patty will send more info in the program.

Fun Run: There will be a hike at "A mountain" for the fun run. It is a short hike, but can be considered strenuous and rugged. NAEP has requested you sign a waiver if you choose to participate.  Alternatively, you can walk around  tempe town lake.  http://www.tempe.gov/city-hall/community-development/tempe-town-lake.

Hotel: the hotel block has been filled, but tempe mission palms is taking a waitlist. Please call: (480) 894-1400.  Alternatively, there is a residence inn close by: http://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/phxtd-residence-inn-tempe-downtown-university.

Transportation: If you are staying at Tempe Mission Palms your resort fee includes transportation to and from the airport.

Restaurants: Sunday and Monday night are dinner on your own (however the welcome reception and vendor exhibit will serve heavy appetizers). We are STEPS away from Mill Avenue.  http://www.downtowntempe.com/explore/dining
