Any teens who participated in the LEAD program will be waiting near Room 314 in the Plaster Student Union during the time of registration on Friday (1 to 4 p.m.). This room is on the same floor as the Grand Ballroom. Once a group leader progresses through registration, he or she will be able to meet up with LEAD teens.

Throughout the weekend, buses may use lots 44, 51, and 51 for parking. Please do not have your bus use lot 52 for overnight or extended parking.

Throughout the weekend, cars may use lots 15, 27, and 37 for parking. All cars must have the parking permit displayed on the dash throughout the weekend. These parking permits can be obtained at registration.

If you are bringing a priest to the conference and he has traveled with your group, please have Father come with you to the Registration Area in the Grand Ballroom of the Plaster Student Union on Friday. From there, our Priest Hospitality Team will take Father to the hotel and get him checked in.

If your priest is traveling to Springfield on his own, he may check in directly at the hotel:
