Workshop Housing On September 1 or earlier, depending on your hotel in Atlantic City, full payment for all room reservations must be received by the hotel. Rooms that have not been paid will be returned to the Atlantic City Housing Bureau.

All changes in arrivals and departures must be made by October 1. Refunds for any changes will not be issued after that date nor on site during Workshop.

Early Checkout If you plan to attend the Closing General Session and Appreciation Brunch on Friday morning, but the checkout time at your hotel is 11 a.m., simply call or stop by the front desk of your hotel and tell them you’ll need a late checkout for Friday. If you prefer to check out in the morning, ask the bell desk to hold your bags until you return from the convention center. That way, you can take the shuttle and leave your car at the hotel.

Shuttle buses and trolleys will be running until 1 p.m. on Friday afternoon from the convention center to the hotels. Look for the shuttle bus schedule in the back of the Workshop program book.

Workshop Registration Procedures In order to ease the lines at Workshop registration, all registrants whose names are received by September 30 will have their badges mailed ahead of time to their district’s board secretary/school business official. The envelope containing the badges will have the Annual Workshop logo on it and will be stamped, Attention: Workshop Badges Enclosed. The badges are to be given to the appropriate board members and administrators.

On arrival at the convention center, registrants should bring their badge to the second floor registration area to the desks marked Pre-Registration/With Badge. At that desk, they will receive a badge holder and their Workshop bag containing the program book and other items. Only one Workshop bag will be given to each registrant, so every registrant must present his or her own badge at the pre-registration desk.

Those registrants not bringing their badge must go to the Pre-Registration/ No Badge desk. This will take more time since new badges must be made for those individuals.

All persons registering after September 30 must pick up their badges and Workshop bags at the Pre-Registration/No Badge desk.

All tickets for the Urban Boards Luncheon must be picked up at the Urban Luncheon desk. Registrants who wish to attend the luncheon, but who have not yet paid for their tickets, may pay at that time.
