FAQ
Can I bring my spouse/guest?
- Conference events are mandatory and not open for spouses/guests. If you wish to bring your spouse/guest to Louisville it will be at your own expense, but please remember they will not be included in the Summit events, including meals. We also ask that you please let us know so the hotel can be made aware of the double occupancy in the room.
While I’m in Louisville, is it possible to stop by the Support Center?
- This year special arrangements have been made and we have incorporated a guided visit to the Support Center on the first day of the conference. Unfortunately this is for Summit attendees only and we cannot accommodate any spouse/guest. The Support Center is not open to the general public. To comply with our Safety & Security policy, all visitors to the Support Center must be escorted by a Support Center staff member who has authorized access to the facility.
