Final Agenda (Last Updated: Tuesday, March 27, 2012)

Please note that there are now additional requirements for visitor vehicles entering the campus. When a Guest/Visitor checks in at the NIST Visitor Center at Gate A and intends to drive into the campus, they will have to show two documents: a Photo ID (State issued driver's license, Federal ID or passport) and a Vehicle Registration card. If a guest does not have a valid vehicle registration, they will be required to park at the Visitor Center and take the NIST Campus Shuttle. Visitors driving rental cars can show their rental agreement in lieu of vehicle registration.

Once you leave the Visitor Center, you will be asked to show the name badge you picked up and a photo ID before being admitted onto the campus.

The NIST Conference office coordinates security instructions with registered attendees directly.
