Andy; The first day of the opening of the convention bourse floor is Thursday. I just didn't want to give the impression to first-time newcomers (members and non-memers alike) that the doors open at 10:00 am and that everybody simply files through at the same time.

Also, not everybody who pre-registered will be attending the banquet ... or arriving on Wednesday for the trade session. Trust me ... there will be long lines on opening day.... and that's good... attendance-wise!
