Where do I sign in for the conference?

How can I save my institution money and enjoy the San Diego attractions at the same time?
When making your travel arrangements, you may want to see if a Saturday stay-over will reduce the cost of your airfare. In many cases, the savings incurred will more than pay for an additional night at the hotel. You can save your institution money and have the opportunity to relax before or after the conference.

Since I will be in class at check out time, what should I do to check out on time and what should I do with my luggage?
If you are checking out on the last day of the conference, you may want to check out before classes begin to avoid missing sessions. Complimentary luggage storage is available at the hotels so you may enjoy the rest of your day.
