What to plan for NCPTW

We’re looking forward to welcoming you to Tacoma in just a couple of weeks! 

We have lots of exciting things planned.

As you think about getting from the airport to the conference, here is info about ground transportation options

You may want to think about making a reservation for dinner on Friday or Saturday night if you want to eat with a larger group. We’ll be posting some restaurant recommendations later this week on the conference webpage.

Here are a few tips on what to bring:

  • An umbrella and/or raincoat with a hood: We are hoping for sunny weather while you’re here, but mid-October is when the rainy season starts, so it’s good to be prepared.
  • A conference name tag lanyard if you have one (or more to share!): Many of us have picked up a lot of conference lanyards over the years. In the interest of sustainability, we’ll have some name badge options handy, but if we’re encouraging people to bring their own lanyards. Feel free to strike up a conversation with people about where their lanyards came from!
  • Running gear (if you like to run): Tacoma is a great running city, and there is a lovely city park that’s a mile from the conference, and a couple of Puget Sound peer tutors who are cross country runners will be leading a run there on Saturday morning, with a total run distance of about 3 miles.

See you soon!
