<p class="MsoNormal">Dear Area Directors and Deputy Area Directors, <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Looking forward to seeing you all on Monday morning. There are a few things I thought might be good to cover in advance of Monday.
<u>Please arrive by 8AM if possible</u> – CESG Opening Plenary speakers will be seated in the pit area just in front of the stage. After the opening remarks by our VIPs, Sami, and Dr. Dianne Poster, our NIST meeting chair, we will then briefly break up to 5
min for the auditorium/AV team to remove the chairs on stage and begin sharing the CESG presentation portion of the agenda. When it’s your turn to give your presentation, you enter the stage and present from the podium. I will be sharing the presentation from
behind the pit area (you’ll see me <span style="font-family:"Segoe UI Emoji",sans-serif">
😊</span> there) if you have any last minute questions! I’m attaching the run of the show which includes the agenda for your presentations (also below).
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background:yellow;mso-highlight:yellow">Please see the final deck here and confirm that everything looks correct</span>:
