How is Secure360 Twin Cities 2017 already upon us? It sure feels like this event sneaks up every year. If you’re registered for the event—or you still need to—here are all the important items you are going to want to note:
Don’t go to Saint Paul!
Please don’t forget, we have moved to the Minneapolis Convention Center this year due to the continuous growth of our event. We will no longer be meeting in St. Paul—please take note!
Please visit the Directions, Parking and Public Transportation area of the Convention Center’s website for more details on where to park during the event. Or, download a PDF version of the area map for street and ramp locations as well as skyway access. Registration will be taking place inside the main entrance of the event center on the Mezzanine Level (street level).
