Dear Participants,
We are so excited to welcome you to the 2020 USDLA Annual Conference. We are going to start strong on Tuesday with Pre-conference workshops and our Opening Reception! We have a great line-up of sessions for you with some amazing keynote speakers! Along with sessions, we also have networking opportunities, time with our sponsors and exhibitors, and time to relax with colleagues! This information will guide you through how the conference will run. Please, keep this close by all four days, so you can refer back to it if you need it!

SPONSOR AND EXHIBITOR TIME
The exhibit hall is open throughout the conference, but there will be special times that is dedicated to the exhibit hall. Sponsor/exhibitor information will be in the app. The area called Exhibitors will give you a list of all the exhibitors and will provide information for each of them. The area that says Floormap will have the exhibit hall diagram where you can you and visit with each one. You will see a “table” for each one next to their logo. If you click on it, you will see their Virtual Room Link. This is how you will access their room to talk to them.
We will have a “scavenger hunt” with the exhibitors. As you visit their booths you will receive a letter. Once you gain all the letters, you will unscramble it to create a phrase, take a picture of it and send it to dmusdla2020vconf@gmail.com. We will draw from these entries at around 3:55 pm eastern on Thursday. The Scavenger Hunt sheet is attached to this email, but it is also in the app for you to print off!
