I forgot to register or I was hired past the registration deadline. Can I still attend?
Yes! We hope you will plan to attend. Registration is required for each event for catering purposes. So, if you forgot to register or missed the deadline, you can still come and enjoy the concert, games and fun with your colleagues. You are also welcome to bring your own food, and we encourage you to bring a folding chair.
When you arrive at the entry with your OneCard ID (required for entry), you will receive a wristband indicating that you are not eligible for catered food or alcoholic beverages at this event. Outside alcohol is strictly prohibited.
