Arrival

Please arrive early to avoid long lines as the conference is expected to be full. While the doors open at 7:30 am, you cannot enter the auditorium until 8:00 am. There is no coat rack or closet available. If weather permits, please do not bring a coat.

Entry into the Building

Extra efforts have been made to make entry into the building as smooth and quick as possible. However, bags will still need to go through the magnetometer. You will need to pass through the metal detectors.

All attendees must have government-issued identification badges. Please enter the building through Wing 5.

Do not enter through the Visitor’s Entrance (Wing 3) or through the main entrance (Wing 1) next to the Smithsonian Metro Station (Independence Avenue exit) as this entrance is reserved for USDA employees only.

Lunch

Attendees are strongly encouraged to bring or purchase a lunch and eat in the USDA Cafeteria. If you do leave the building for lunch, please allow enough time to clear security upon your return.
