Tips for a Successful Conference

Spending Money

We want this conference to be as affordable as possible so we are supplying dinner on Thursday, breakfast and lunch on Friday and breakfast and lunch on Saturday. You might want to bring some extra money for snacks, and any sightseeing that you plan to do. Zona Rosa is a nearby shopping and dining area with options for eating and entertainment on Friday night.

Conference Registration Areas & Hours

Once you check into your hotel room, come to the conference registration area located in the hotel lobby. Registration hours are:

• Thursday: 9am-8pm
• Friday: 7am-5pm

What to Wear

This is a professional conference, but jeans and khakis are fine. Use your best judgment. Hotels tend to be a bit chilly so you may want to wear layers in case some meeting rooms are colder than others.

Vegetarian and Special Meal Needs

Partners in Prevention is happy to provide vegetarian/ vegan meals and other special meal needs to our conference guests given appropriate notice. Each registered special meal need will receive special designation on their nametag. If you do not register with a special meal need in advance of arrival, we cannot guarantee that the meal will be available to you. In addition, if you have any other special meal needs please note that on your registration or contact Joan Masters at MastersJ@missouri.edu before March 26.

Health and Safety Measures for COVID-19

• We ask that you bring your own masks/face coverings - one for each day of the conference - and encourage you to wear it unless actively eating or drinking
• Please monitor symptoms of illness each day prior to attending the conference. Please do not attend if you are experiencing any symptoms of illness and contact our staff if you need to cancel
• Session rooms will be set with 3-foot social distance in mind and attendees will indicate via colored stickers on their nametags what their preferred social distance is
• Thank you for helping us protect the more vulnerable members of our community by wearing masks, monitoring symptoms, and observing social distance!
