DOG BEHAVIOR ETIQUETTE

• Dogs must be kept quiet, leashed and under control at all times. No crates or x-pens are allowed.
• Any dog that is disruptive or behaves in an aggressive manner as determined by event staff will be requested to leave the conference areas.
• Any dog that has "personal space issues" should not be in the seminar rooms. Remember, chairs are right next to each other and people and dogs may be stepping over your dog. It is not a nice experience to be snarled at when dogs/people have to walk "over" your dog.
• Please report any dog manner problems to the Registration Table so that we may address the problem quickly.

PEOPLE ETIQUETTE: During the lectures, please turn off all cell phone and pager audio alerts. Please take all private conversations outside while the speakers are presenting.

FOOD AT THE CONFERENCE: Lunches will be prepared by our local caterer. We recommend you pre-order your lunches so that you can get your food quickly and participate in any lunch time activities. Vegetarian option is available, please check box on the Registration Form.
