<p><b>Dress Code:</b> Dress is business casual. Expect nice outside weather and chilly meeting rooms.
</p><p><b>Arriving early? Staying late? Hungry?</b> The host committee is compiling <a href="/wiki/NETC08_Dining_and_Entertainment_Suggestions" title="NETC08 Dining and Entertainment Suggestions">NETC08 Dining and Entertainment Suggestions</a>
</p><p><b>Got runnin' shoes?</b> Umstead State Park near the Embassy Suites is home to the <a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=CM8NZt_66hA" class="external text" title="http://youtube.com/watch?v=CM8NZt_66hA">50 and 100 mile Umstead Ultra Marathons</a>. Maybe you are interested in a shorter route? The Reedy Creek entrance off Highway 40 puts you on the popular <a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=THE0d-grOko" class="external text" title="http://youtube.com/watch?v=THE0d-grOko">4.5-mile Company Mill Trail</a>, which can be combined with the 3-mile Loblolly Trail.
</p><p><b>Lake Crabtree County Park</b> offers visitors a variety of exciting opportunities for outdoor recreation. Located on a 215-acre site adjacent to a 520-acre flood control lake, some of the park's main attractions include fishing, boating, kayaking, hiking, group and individual picnicking, mountain biking, and nature study. <a href="http://web.eenorthcarolina.org/net/org/info.aspx?s=44808.0.0.37430" class="external text" title="http://web.eenorthcarolina.org/net/org/info.aspx?s=44808.0.0.37430">more</a>

<p><b>Using the Wiki:</b>
Participants may have questions about your <a href="/wiki/NETC08_presentations" title="NETC08 presentations">presentation</a>. 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.
</p><p><b>Bringing Handouts:</b>
We suggest you keep handouts to a minimum. Instead, consider linking to or posting your handout information on your wiki page.
</p><p>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.
</p><p><b>Sharing your Presentation:</b>
We’ve created a NETC08 group on <a href="http://SlideShare.net" class="external text" title="http://SlideShare.net">SlideShare.net</a>. After the conference, you might want to archive your PowerPoint and pdf files there.
