ABDC advises that attendance of the Advocacy in Action panel discussion is on a first-come, first-served basis, and you are encouraged to arrive early to ensure you get a seat.
ABDC also encourages you to stop by the interactive Advocacy Action Center in the Exhibit Hall to submit letters to your state and federal representatives and collect an "I'm an Advocate!" button. The Center will be open from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. Friday outside Islander Ballroom H and from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday in the Exhibit Hall. After the panel discussion, you can continue the advocacy conversation one-on-one with the panelists during a meet-and-greet session on the trade show floor.
