What are my transportation/parking options for getting to and from the event?
Clothing: The dress code for the education day is business casual attire. You will be interacting with a variety of healthcare professionals and sales reps – you want to make sure to put your best foot forward. While we’re on the topic of attire – make sure to dress in layers. Itis very difficult to control the temperature in a large conference room, so it is best to be prepared for both warm and cool temperatures.
