Where to check in: Maps

A few things have moved from where they've been at previous years' CONvergences, most notably Registration, the first place you'll want to visit when you arrive so you can pick up your badge. Registration will be located this year in The Sheraton's Shipside Lounge (formerly the location of Harmonic CONvergence - which has moved into Stevie Ray's Cabaret, the FORMER location of Registration). The Registration Department is indicated on the map in RED.

Other changes include Connie's Space Lounge having swapped space with the Operations Bridge, but both are still neighbors in the Sheraton Verandas. Located in Plaza 3, the Science Room is now Connie's Quantum Sandbox, a fusion of the Science Room and the Project Room. Other Programming Homerooms have moved as well. Art Show has not moved, but it's door has. You can now access the art show from the door at the corner of Plaza 6.

There are other new features including the Volunteers Den in Cabana 222 and Artists Alley in CONvergence Central.

As always, maps will be included in the Programming Guide booklet, as well as posted at several locations around the hotel.
