Overview
For each CoreNet Global regional event, seminars are divided into two sessions. Session I begins mid-day Monday (allowing for travel time) and ends mid-day Wednesday. Session II begins mid-day on Wednesday and ends mid-day on Friday (see detailed schedule below). This enables students to take two seminars in a week. Many students have found this feature an important time and money saver. Once you have registered via fax, online or mail and receive a confirmation from CoreNet Global, there is no formal registration on site. Each student will be provided a badge, tent card and seminar book in the classroom. The Information Center will be centrally located for information and direction. Staff will be there to assist you.

The MCR Capstone classes begin on Sunday evening (26 July) with a mandatory session and ends on Wednesday mid-day (29 July). There will be a required evening program on Tuesday. Students may choose to take the capstone in Session I and a seminar in Session II. The capstone schedule is listed below.

Networking
CoreNet Global makes every effort to create the right conditions for the highest level networking to support the learning that occurs in our programs. Break periods, luncheons and receptions are designed to provide networking opportunities among students and faculty.

Attire
The dress for all CoreNet Global seminars is business casual. We suggest that you wear layered clothing because room temperatures in conference facilities are difficult to control and may seem either too cool or too warm at times.
