Parking lots are also available off of Selby and Finn Street North. See the map below. There may be signs that these lots are restricted, but they are not restricted for our day.

Dress code

We are in 4 buildings and on different levels within the buildings. Stairs and elevators are available. OSN is casual, but wear shoes like you would be walking between college classes.

Arrival

Everyone attending needs to check in at Registration. No tickets are needed. We will have registration lists.

Registration is located on the second floor of the Anderson Athletic & Recreation Complex, often referred to as the Field House (indoor track). Registration, sponsors, light breakfast, lunch, prize giveaway, and complimentary happy hour are all inside the Field House.

At Registration, we will have six tables, and the badges are sorted by Last Name:

    • Table 1, A – C
    • Table 2, D – H
    • Table 3, I – L
    • Table 4, M – P
    • Table 5, Q – S
    • Table 6, T – Z

After collecting your badge and attendee bag, if you requested an OSN attendee t-shirt, please visit the t-shirt tables next to Registration.

Wi-Fi

Wi-Fi is available to join for free on campus, “UST-Open”.

Volunteers

We have added more volunteers and more signs! If you have any questions, please ask a volunteer. They will be wearing green OSN Volunteer t-shirts.

There is also an Information table next to Registration.

Bingo Cards – MacBook Pros Giveaway

Once again, OSN is giving away 3 MacBook Pros! Inside your OSN Attendee Bag are 3 Bingo Cards – one Platinum, one Gold, and one Silver.

Visit OSN’s sponsors to fill your cards with stickers. Then drop off your completed card off at Registration in the corresponding labeled box. Complete all 3, and you have 3 chances to win a MacBook Pro.

As a bonus, many OSN sponsors will also have their own prize giveaways you can enter.
