Attendees and vendor participants are invited to come to Amazon HQ at PacMed up on the hill. Bus transportation between the Marriott and Amazon HQ will be provided by Amazon. A panel of Amazon execs will be on hand to answer questions developed on Saturday by attendees. A boxed lunch will be graciously provided, also by Amazon.. At around 1:30, we will reboard the buses and leave Amazon to return to the Marriott. If you have your own car, there is visitor parking at Amazon. If your plane reservations make the 1:30 departure time a squeeze, you may want to have a taxi pick you up at Amazon at an earlier time.
