A Note to Foreign Nationals:
At least twenty-four hours prior to attending a seminar, make sure you have access to the building where it is being held. A workstation in the ORNL Visitor Center can read your prox card and display the buildings that you are able to enter. If the building where the seminar is being held is not listed, you will need to see your supervisor or host to arrange a “nonintent change” for access to the building. (Being escorted is not allowed as a substitute for getting proper permission.)

Technical Calendar entries for on-site meetings require the name and phone number and/or e-mail address of an ORNL contact person. You may either use one contact for all meetings sponsored by your division or use a specific contact for each meeting.
