Going Green
In an effort to reduce our carbon footprint, PRIMA will have limited print materials available onsite. Conference materials will all be made available via the mobile app in which attendees can access the schedule, special events and download handouts. Attendees that wish to have paper handouts can print them out selectively on their own printers and bring them along.Photography Disclosure
