Breakfast à la carte

New this year, Breakfast à la carte! Instead of a big buffet breakfast, everyone will receive a pre-loaded Silver Star gift card at registration. This model allows you to pick and choose your breakfast: what you eat, when you eat and where you eat! We still encourage everyone to meet @Town Hall to fuel up before the scientific sessions. You are in the drivers seat when it comes to curating your personalized morning meal plan.
