On-Site Guide
This on-site guide is meant to give you the information you need to get around to the different conference events. We have provided information that will be helpful once you have arrived in Provo, and should help you have an enjoyable time during the conference.
Conference Event Locations
Please see Conference Schedule for a list of what activities will be held at each location.
Dress Code
- We’ll be at a ropes course, so you’ll want to wear something that you can run, climb, jump in. The weather in Provo is a little bit fickle at this time of the year (it snowed in the valleys this weekend), however the forecast shows 60s-70s (F) for the conference. You will definitely want to bring a warm jacket/sweatshirt for Thursday night at the Ropes Course. Tennis shoes are a good idea here.
- We’ll be visiting companies, attending leadership sessions, and competing during the day. The awards dinner will be at 6PM Friday evening.
- For the social activity after the awards dinner, you are welcome to change to something more comfortable
- We’ll be attending a series of technology workshops in the morning in addition to a few presentations to the whole group

The link above has maps of each floor of the tanner building, but below is some helpful information for navigating around the building.
The Tanner Building has entrances on the first and fourth floors. First floor entrances are on the north and south sides of the building, and can be accessed from the Tanner Building Parking lots including the graduate parking structure. The fourth floor entrance is on the east side, and can be accessed from the visitor parking lots.
The first four floors are split into east and west sides of the building. Rooms in the west side are marked with a “W” in front of the room numbers, and the first digit of the room number indicates what floor it’s on (W408 is on the west side fourth floor).
