What else do I need to know?
Participants will be given lunch and their entry fees to the Pritzker waived, but they must sign up at the bottom of this event page. All you have to do is check in on your arrival.
The general agenda will look like this:
We will meet initially at the Pritzker at 10:00 AM, get ourselves situated and introduced, and begin some planning and editing.
Around 1:00 PM, we'll get started with lunch, which is likely to be catered by Panera. If you have particular dietary restrictions, please contact I JethroBT (talk·contribs) ahead of time, and we can make accommodations for you.
After lunch, we'll head back to the Pritzker where we can resume editing and take some time to check out the Pritzker's excellent art gallery and collections. We'll finish up around 3:30.
