No checks or credit cards are accepted. They don't ask for your name or anything like that. Some of the attendees probably wouldn't want to give their real names or addresses anyway. It can be informative, but be prepared to uncomfortably warm. The air conditioning isn't capable of handling the load, especially if you are in a tent outdoors. Last year, it was cooler than usual and it wasn't as bad as the year before. If you booked a room at the Alexis Park (now sold out), you could watch the sessions on the TV in your room and probably be more comfortable. I didn't want to pay the price of a room at the Alexis Park and stayed at a Motel 6. There wasn't any parking left at the Alexis Park, so I parked at the Hard Rock on the other side of the street and a bit farther east. While they do have WiFi at the Alexis Park, they have people there sniffing for passwords which they then write on a board for all to see.
