CONFERENCE NOTES:
Where we go when we reach the airport ?
In order to make your arrival comfortable, we have made a few arrangements.
If you are arriving at Ft. Lauderdale Airport:
Once you arrive at the airport, please proceed to "Terminal 1" and
wait outside. This would be easy to
manage since the airport has a continuous shuttle service between
terminals. Below is the link to the map of Ft. Lauderdale Airport:

If you are arriving at Miami International Airport:
Since most of the domestic airlines are in
South Terminal, we have chosen South Terminal concourse H" as the
pickup point for your convenience.
