FAQs
Q. What if some team members want to attend but others cannot?
A. You are certainly welcome to come with whatever team members are available. It’s a
great opportunity to make new friends, and bring information back to your team. If your
team manager is unable to attend that’s okay too, but another designated adult must
remain with the team.
Q. How can I request an accommodation to make this event more accessible?
A. This is a priority for us! There is a spot to note accommodation requests on your
registration, and you can also email laura.elkins@marylanddi.org!
Q. What is the cost to attend?
A. Skill Surge registration is included in your affiliate fee! There is no additional cost for teams!
Q. What should we bring?
A. Water, snacks, and be sure to wear comfy clothes so you can move around and sit on
the floor.
