Help Desk / Lost & Found / App Assistance
Our conference information and help desk is located in Pritchell 1, where you checked in to receive your attendee bag and name tag. In this area, you can ask general conference questions, locate lost and found items, get help with the app, and access a first aid kit. If you lose or damage your name tag, please come to the Help Desk to print out a new one. Name tags must be worn at all times to enter conference sessions.
