This should be a team comprised of staff with HCM and Finance backgrounds (unless your district only uses either HCM or Finance).
Like last year - Please work with your organization's Conference Contact to coordinate your registration.
Like last year - Please plan to carpool to the event. Carpools of 4+ will be offered free valet parking in Fleet Services.

Q: Can I park my electric vehicle at SDCOE on the day of the conference?
Yes, if there is space, and also if you have a Chargepoint account linked to SDCOE (there is a process and approval for this). Please see https://www.sdcoe.net/business-services/facilities/Pages/electric-vehicles.aspx. It is important to consider that once the charge is complete, you will need to move your car, otherwise you will continue to be charged a fee. Parking might be impacted on the day of the conference and spaces might be limited.
