Hi all, We are checking with our contacts at the UN for alternative dimensions, but yes -- larger laptops and their cases should be fine. The measures are in place to avoid large backpacks and suitcases. We suggest you follow them as close as possible.

Those specific security people may not be on staff, but we will have a number of attendees and a super exciting security video to kick off the conference. We will all be safe. ;) Hope this helps clarify things, Alyssa. On Thu, Jun 4, 2015 at 10:43 AM, Elliott Plack <[email protected]> wrote: > Greetings all.
