Specific campus parking locations available for the conference will be posted in the resources section of the She Roars website in mid-September.

How will dietary restrictions be handled during the event?

On the first page of the registration form, you will be asked to share any dietary restrictions you have. This information will be shared with our caterers in advance of the event, and they will be prepared to address all restrictions. At the sit-down meals, please review the printed menu at your table, and share your restriction with your server if a special meal is needed. At buffet-style or grab-and-go events, stationary items will be labeled and servers will be able to answer questions about the food available.
