The Florida Lake Management Society Board of Directors welcomes you to the 36th Annual Symposium!  Here are a few things to keep in mind while you are packing.
 
1.  The Conference Registration Desk will be in the Overseas Ballroom Foyer beginning Monday afternoon. Please stop by to pick up your registration items after you check into your room. 
 
2.  If you registered for a workshop on Tuesday, you’ll find them in the Overseas and Dolphin Ballrooms. Signs will also be located at each door.  Breakfast is not included Tuesday, but a beverage station will be out for everyone all day and box lunch is for full day workshop attendees.
 
3.  Breakfast for conference attendees will be available Wednesday, Thursday & Friday mornings starting at 7am in the Dolphin Ballroom/Exhibit Hall. 
 
4. Lunch for all attendees will be in the Dolphin Ballroom/Exhibit Hall on Wednesday & Thursday.  Your name badge is your entry into the meals.
 
5.  Our Exhibitor Social will be held in the Dolphin Ballroom/Exhibit Hall during the Wednesday Poster Session from 6pm to 8pm.  Use the drink tickets in your name badge for a FREE drink or two along with some light appetizers.

6. The Wednesday hospitality suite will be in a villa yet to be assigned immediately following the Exhibitors’ social.  Stop by for more free drinks and snacks!
 
7.  This year’s student FUNdraiser will be our famous Conch Crawl bus to Key West on Thursday evening. Sign up and fee info will be at the Registration desk during the conference. Refreshments and Maryann’s Mile Marker Trivia will be provided for your enjoyment on the bus! Just how long is the Seven-mile Bridge anyway?
 
8. As usual, the temperature in the session & exhibit rooms can be variable.  Bring a sweater or jacket with you, just in case!
 
9. DACS Aquatics CEUs are available for several sessions.  These are posted on the website CEU page.  Our Program Coordinator will have the CEUs emailed to you following the symposium.
 
10. Each of you will receive an attendee list a few days after the close of the symposium so you can continue networking throughout the year!

11. Attention Students, Advisors, and  FLMS current & Past Board Members Only:  Meet Tuesday at 7:30pm at the Fire Pit by the adult pool.  We’re having our Student Meet & Greet with food & refreshments.  This is a chance for our students to meet a smaller group of us before meeting 150 FLMS members the next day!

12. Attention Tax-exempt Organizations:  Upon check in, you will be asked to provide your tax exempt certificate to use your tax-exempt status at Hawks Cay Resort.
 
13. Don’t forget to pack your hat, sunscreen and a swim suit. The lagoon and dolphin adventure ate bug hits after a full day of sessions! It’s a long drive, so pop some Jimmy Buffett in the player and get into an island mood!
