Got runnin' shoes? Umstead State Park near the Embassy Suites is home to the 50 and 100 mile Umstead Ultra Marathons. Maybe you are interested in a shorter route? The Reedy Creek entrance off Highway 40 puts you on the popular 4.5-mile Company Mill Trail, which can be combined with the 3-mile Loblolly Trail.

Tips for Presenters

Using the Wiki: Participants may have questions about your presentation. Make sure you set your wiki preferences and watch your wiki page so you’ll be notified when something is added to your topic or discussion pages.

Bringing Handouts: We suggest you keep handouts to a minimum. Instead, consider linking to or posting your handout information on your wiki page.

You may want to prepare a single page handout with brief notes and your contact information or web site. Conference attendees usually like to have a physical reminder, but don't like to haul tons of paper home.

Sharing your Presentation: We’ve created a NETC08 group on SlideShare.net. After the conference, you might want to archive your PowerPoint and pdf files there.
