You may wish to double-check the schedule so that you don't book over a main-room class you are also interested in. We expect that many classes will fill up, so be sure to book promptly!
For those of you who don’t have Full-Event Passes, note that you must be registered for daytime classes corresponding to the day of the premiums you wish to take. (So for example, to take a Saturday Premium, you must have a ticket for Saturday Daytime Classes OR have a Full-Event Pass.)
