Bring your favorite books and stickers to swap with others. It's a great way to discover new titles, find unique stickers, and make new friends. If you have extra technical or management books about cybersecurity, we will have a book exchange. What about stickers! How many of you have stickers all over your laptop? What if you need more? All of us love our stickers, no matter if it gets us in trouble or not on our work laptop. If you have extras, bring them by the table and drop them off. Take one, leave one. Bring many, take one. Bring one, take many? ?? We'll have snacks and drinks, so come hungry and ready to chat! #stickerandbookexchange #officefun #reading #stickers"

We've accepted a mission so perilous, so fraught with peril, it would make Tom Cruise sweat: badges. Ready. At check-in. This year. The stakes? Avoidance of attendee-induced hanger and the dreaded 'line rage.' The reward? A conference where everyone's happy... or at least, not actively plotting our demise.

The past few years we have had a badge problem ?? leading to a running joke. We could cry or try our best to fix the problem. Enter Operation Badge Resurrection! ???? We’ve decided it’s time to roll up our sleeves, channel our inner MacGyvers, and give these paper warriors the facelift they deserve. Think of it as extreme makeovers: badge edition. Our team of badge-wielding heroes (who might have watched one too many DIY shows) will ensure your SnowFROC experience is as smooth as a fresh powder run. If you have your ticket before March 1st, your badge will be printed and ready at the door We are moving the entrance this year to the center double doors for the morning rush.
