Will I need to arrange transportation between events on September 3?Buses will provide transportation from the Hyatt Regency Houston on the morning of September 3 to the Johnson Space Center tours, to the luncheon, and then back to the Hyatt prior to the evening banquet. Local guests attending the morning tours of JSC can meet the buses at JSC's Space Center Houston and will be returned to Space Center Houston at the end of the tours, prior to the luncheon. All other transportation must be arranged by the nominee or the nominee's organization. Please see the agenda for more details about the events during the day on September 3.

Also, please remember that each nominee (or nominated team representative) may only bring one guest to the luncheon, tours, and evening banquet. The guest for the luncheon/tours and dinner need not be the same person.
