In addition, attendees staying at the Hyatt Regency Jacksonville Riverfront in the group block will receive complimentary basic wireless Internet in their guest rooms. When logging in from your room, you will need to accept the charges; the hotel will credit these prior to checkout.
Have a question or need help in a session?
Room monitors will be stationed in the hallways during sessions and will be happy to answer your questions. Additionally, if you need something, email IREhelp@ire.org, and IRE staff will respond as quickly as possible.
Hands-on classes
We have a big crowd this year, and it's exciting to have so many new faces. We've added a number of hands-on sessions, but seating is limited. So if there's a hands-on class you really want to take, plan on getting there early.
CAR Conference App replaces a printed program
You’re tech-savvy and care about the environment, and so do we. Rather than printing 1,000 schedules, we’re giving you two ways to track the full schedule of panels, hands-on sessions and special events with accurate, up-to-the-minute details:
Internet is not required for the app to work once it’s downloaded. However, a connection is necessary to receive any updates sent by IRE.
If you feel most comfortable with a printed schedule, sheets with the daily lineup will be available at the registration desk.
Twitter/Student Blog
Use #NICAR17 during the conference and stop by the registration desk to see live tweets on the announcement monitor along with conference blogs. We’ve got a full team of bloggers, and you can see their work online and in the conference app.
Social events/outside social events
Be sure to check out the list of special sessions, social events, and other activities taking place this week. Check out the full list here.
Contact IRE
We want everyone to have a great conference. If you have any concerns, run into any problems or need to contact a member of the IRE staff for any reason, we’ve set up several ways to reach us. Please remember that whether you’re in a session, walking the hallway or hanging out at the bar, it’s important to respect all of your fellow attendees. IRE and NICAR have long been known for our sense of community, and we should all be sure that everyone feels welcome.
