As people plan their travel, a handful of folks have traditionally come early to help stuff bags, which the registration team has helped coordinate. Due to ergonomic concerns, and the fact that "Visit Baltimore" folks gave us a great deal, we're experimenting with having their staff stuff bags this year, so there's no need to come early on Tuesday just for that. If you've already booked your flights, feel free to use the time to visit some of Baltimore's wonderful attractions: <a href="https://baltimore.org/">https://baltimore.org/</a></span><br></div></blockquote></body></html>
