Anyone who has registration-related question could try e-mailing: Teresa Vicente <teresa.vicente [at] nist.gov> or call (+1) 301.975-3883 (as cited in people's registration confirmation message.

On-site attendees should plan to be at the gate of the NIST (Gaithersburg, Maryland, US) campus by 8:30am EDT on Apr-6 (day-1), as signing in, and getting there to the meeting venue, are expected to take a little time.
