BSidesDFW

We have been informed that there is a cycling event on-site Saturday morning. Please be mindful of any cyclists.
This is something, that as a semi-former cyclist, is dear to me. Reminder "1. Bicyclists have the rights and duties of other vehicle operators: (551.101)" aka they are no different than your car, share the road. Bike Texas
That concludes my ranty PSA.

Parking: We have been assigned Lot 95 and Lot 96. These should be on the back 40, at the end of the road.
As you enter the property turn right at the stop sign by the gate and follow the BSidesDFW yard signs.

Parking Passes are required. These will be distributed on-site. Sorry, No self-print.
