Should you choose to preselect sessions during the registration process, please be advised that preselection is not a guarantee of a seat. Attendees are asked to preselect to better determine room size and all efforts will be made to accommodate sessions in the largest rooms possible. We have already moved sessions to larger rooms and have scheduled to rerun popular sessions based on preselection. Please continue to preselect so we can adjust rooms to allow attendees the best CSM experiance with minimal closed out sessions. All attendees are encouraged to show up to sessions early. Attendees are also encouraged to select alternative sessions in the event their first choice is full.
