Travel Tips

Service charges or tips are generally not included in published prices in the United States. Restaurant servers, taxi drivers, etc., generally expect a tip of at least 15%.

Smoking in public areas is usually prohibited in the United States and California has very strict non-smoking laws. Smokers should seek out designated smoking areas in hotels, restaurants, and other businesses.

Dress

Business casual attire is appropriate for most TCLEE 2009 events. Although jackets are not required for the sessions, jackets or sweaters that can be removed are advisable because conference rooms may be cool. You may choose to wear business attire for the banquet.

The best plan is to dress in layers, so that as you move from one place to another you can adjust your clothing.
