We’re slightly over a month away from Sex 2.0, so here’s a crap-ton of info for you…
TRANSPORTATION (pt. I): If you’re flying into Atlanta, you can take MARTA (North or Northeast line) from the airport to the North Avenue stop. The hotel is diagonally across the street (map here). Or you can take a cab and it should cost about $30.
TRANSPORTATION (pt. 2): We are planning to rent at least one van (possibly more, depending on how finances work out) and run shuttles between the hotel and 1763. Several local folks have also volunteered to carpool. And of course you can always take a cab or rent a car. I’ll be posting detailed directions soon, so no one should get lost! 
LODGING: When you make your reservation at the Marriott Renaissance, please use this link. Or if you are making your reservation over the phone, be sure to specifically mention that you are with Sex 2.0 and want a room in our block. And when you check in, please remind them again that you’re with Sex 2.0.
REGISTRATION: Yes, it’s true, even people who are session leaders have to register. I wish I could comp session leaders’ entry fee, but sadly the money just isn’t there for it. (And there’s also the whole unconference thing where it’s supposed to be a lack of hierarchy… but I am not getting into one of those debates again!) Seriously though, I wish I could, but it’s simply not possible. So just a heads-up if you haven’t registered, the price is $40 until March 28.
WIFI: There will be wifi, thanks to Steve Eley’s gracious offer to bring and set up a router! Sure, it might get a bit slow at times, but what do you expect with a bunch of nerds gathered together?
PROJECTORS: There will be two digital projectors, thanks to Jennifer Williams coming to the rescue and loaning them to us! (We’re only renting one screen though… so maybe the other one can project onto a wall.) If you will need a projector for your session please let the group know as soon as possible, in case there are any conflicts.
FOOD: We’re planning to order a bunch of box lunches. We’re going to low-ball the number we order, since at PodCamp we ended up with a ton of leftover food and it wasn’t cheap. If anyone has any special dietary needs, please let me know as soon as possible. We’ll make every effort to accomodate people’s needs.
PRIVACY: The way we’re planning to handle protecting people’s privacy/identity/etc. is to use these arm bands that Chris Penn proposed.
VOLUNTEER POSITIONS: Theoretically, since it’s an unconference, everyone is supposed to be a “volunteer” to an extent — that is, make the conference what you want it to be. But there are a few places where we need people to be committed to a specific task for a certain length of time. These will include working the registration desk (probably 3 different shifts), taking the money for lunch (probably 2 people), and helping with set-up/take-down. In the next few weeks I will be able to say with more certainty what we need, and at that time I’ll post a for-real list!
POLE DANCING: There are only a few spots left for the Friday night pole dancing party, so register soon if you want to attend (women only). It will be awesome.
That’s all for now… more to come soon!
