News & Updates
Lockers and Internet
Arrangements have been made for any interested participants to have access to the CU campus wireless web/internet. There will be a conference "identikey" (username) and a common password for all participants, both to be given out at registration.
Lockers will be available all weekend, but users will need to bring their own locks.
Banquet Entertainment
On Saturday evening, June 27, most seminar attendees will get together for a delightful buffet at a Hotel close by.
Kashiwaya Sensei enjoyed the music and performances at previous seminars and asked about entertainment for this year's event.
If you have a nice idea and would like to perform, your contribution in any form will be very welcome: some people may play during dinner quietly while people eat, and then some are to be featured as entertainment afterward, each up to 10 minutes. A sound system with microphone is available. Perfomances do not have to be only music, anything you may want to share will be appreciated. ~~ Perform with Confidence. ~~
Mort Melman will organize and coordinate the presentations. Please contact him with your suggestions and ideas at: Mort Melman <pimado@sbcglobal.net>

HOW TO UPDATE YOUR INFORMATION
Log In to event brite at https://www.eventbrite.com/signin with your email address and password. Click on the little people "Update Attendee Information" icon. It will be on the right side of the Midland Ki Federation listing in the "Tickets to Upcoming Events" bar.
You may be listed several times as an attendee, depending on what you purchased. So, you may need to click on each one of those links to edit some information. For instance, information collected for the Instructors' Intensive appears only with that ticket (attendee) type. But if you are just changing something such as parking permits or perhaps the banquet reservation that may come later, then that will show with all ticket/attendee types.
Parking
A mistake has been corrected in the set up of the question about parking permits. There is now an option to select "none" for parking permits. Also, no answer reguarding parking tickets is required to proceed with checkout. I apologize if this caused any inconvenience.
You can request parking permits as part of registration and we will let the University (CU) know what to expect. However, all of the permit sales and payments will be handled by CU when you check in at Aden hall.
