In the schedule there are a lot of events, what if I’m late for a start time?

Unfortunately if you are late for a start time, depending on the event, you may not be able to participate in the event or you will need to arrange an uber to taxi to get you caught up to the group. This will depend on the event of course. If you miss the shuttle bus to an event you can likely just arrange transportation to the event.
