You Are Invited to the Presidential Suite (13217):
All are welcome to visit the President and First Lady of the Federation during the convention. Appointments to meet with President Riccobono may be made at the Presidential Suite. The suite will be open during much of the time when general sessions are not scheduled.

New Cash Express Lane in the Independence Market:
We are pleased to announce that the Independence Market will be rolling out a brand new feature at this year’s national convention: the Three Items or Less Cash Only Express Lane! Need to grab a replacement cane and run off to your next meeting? Want to buy that signature guide you forgot to purchase during your last visit without all the hassle? Just need a deck of Braille playing cards to keep you occupied on that long flight home? No problem! To help keep our checkout line in check and to cut down on waiting time for all of our customers, all cash transactions for three items or less will be directed to a separate express order processing window. To take advantage of this new time-saving feature, simply collect your product tags as usual and join the main checkout line. When you reach our line marshals, let them know that you are purchasing three items or less with cash and they will direct you to the proper window. Getting in and out of the Independence Market has never been so easy!

UPS Prepaid Boxes:
UPS prepaid boxes will be available in the Independence Market again this year. Check them out if you need a little extra space to get your convention swag (or Market purchases) home! Visit the Market for details.

See you in Orlando!
