I found this intresting and thought I would pass it on just in case you all 
aren't aware that the convention structure is very different this year for 
National.
Monday, July 1, will be the preregistration workshops and seminars. Tuesday, 
July 2,  will begin the registration process, and also hold many, many, many 
committee and division meetings and workshops, including the lawyers' 
division mock trial, the national association of blind students meeting, 
etc, etc.

Wednesday, July 3,  will be the day of the board meeting, and many more 
division meetings, and the like.  Thursday, July 4,  begins the plenary 
sessions with the roll call of states, the Presidential report, and other 
speakers. Friday, July 5,  will continue the all convention sessions, with 
much of the business session such as elections, resolutions, etc, and more 
presentations. Finally, Saturday, July 6, will be a full day of convention 
sessions, culminating in the evening with the banquet including scholarship 
presentations, and of course Doctor Maurer's address.

Sunday, July7, you can fly home, or stay around Orlando, or whatever you 
want because convention is over.

Hope this helps.
