- The Doubletree staff has been wonderful to us. That's one of the reasons we keep coming back to the Doubletree.

General Questions
- What should I do when I get to the Doubletree?
- Go to the Registration Desk. We'll have your registration packet and your convention ID waiting for you.
- Where is the Registration Desk?
- The Registration Desk will be right next to the Vendors Room door. [View Doubletree floor plan]
- The Registration Desk will be staffed from 3 pm to 6 pm on Thursday, and from 8:30 am to 5 pm on Friday and Saturday.
- Does California Dreamin have a dress code?
- Yes we do, and it's very simple: dress tastefully. Please remember that Cal Dreamin is (in part) an educational conference, and dress and act accordingly.
- We like to think that one of the things we do at Dreamin is outreach—many of the guests at the hotel won't be members of the TG community, and we'd like to give them a good impression of us. So have fun with your wardrobe, but don't go crazy.
- Do I have to dress to attend Cal Dreamin?
- No—but we think you'll have a lot more fun if you do.
- Will I be able to change my clothes at Cal Dreamin?
- We will have a changing room available for Cal Dreamin attendees. Please ask at the Registration Desk if you'd like to use the dressing room. Please do not change clothes in restrooms.
- Do I need to keep my conference ID with me?
- Yes. You'll need your ID to attend seminars, and to get into lunches and the banquet (if you've signed up for them). If you don't have your ID with you, we'll make you go get it.
- Can I take pictures or videotapes during the conference?
- If you want to take someone's picture, please ask their permission. Not everyone attending Cal Dreamin is out, and we ask that you respect everyone's right to privacy.
- Videotaping presentations is strictly prohibited.
- Can I come to just the banquet?
- Maybe.
- We have limited seating at the banquet, and we're reserving those seats for registered attendees. If we don't fill up our banquet seats, we'll throw them open on a first come, first served basis.
