On Thursday and Friday there will be distinct choices in which direction and distance to drive form the convention hotel. The following map shows each area and the driving time to that area form the convention hotel. All layouts will be open from 1 to 5 on tour days. Note that some layouts may be open on other days as well. The Layout Guide distributed before the convention will include suggestions on directions for missing commute traffic as well as meal suggestions in each tour area.
