SDC 2015

Registration
Registration for Day 1, Thursday, November 12th, will be from 9:30am to 10:20am in the Multi-Purpose Hall.  The Opening Ceremony will start at 10:30am.  Do not be late!

Location
The SDC will take place at the Prefectural Education Center in Okinawa City.  Here is the address:

Okinawa Prefectural Education Center
沖縄県立総合教育センター (Okinawa kenritsu sougou kyouiku sentaa)
〒904-2174 沖縄県 沖縄市与儀3丁目11番1号
098-933-7595

Please park at the Comprehensive Athletic Park next door.  If you are being dropped off, we ask that you get dropped off at the gates to the center. You can visit the OkiJET website for a more detailed step-by-step set of directions to the Education Center via car/bus.

Dress Code
The SDC is a formal business conference, so formal business attire is required.  Kariyushi will also be allowed, due to the stuffy conditions in some of the conference rooms at the center.   For women, it is suggested to dress accordingly and to keep in mind that some rooms may be too warm for a jacket.

Attendance
Attendance for each workshop is mandatory and will be strictly monitored throughout the conference. Please be sure to check your name off on the sign-in sheet as you enter each workshop.  If you miss a workshop (or do not check your name off), your school or office will receive a call from our division (this policy will also apply to JTEs) so please be absolutely sure you attend and sign-in for each workshop!

If you have any questions please contact one of your PAs.
