Do I need to register?

-
Is it okay to arrive on Saturday instead of Friday?
Yes! The main event activities don't start until 4:30pm on Saturday, however, If you plan to participate in any of the extra activities happening Saturday morning, it would be best for you to arrive Friday evening, since they do get started pretty early. If you do arrive Friday evening, dinner will be on your own, and breakfast and lunch will be provided at the Vision on Saturday. We just ask that you indicate on the registration form any meals you plan to join us for.
