For Your Safety

When you are outside you should:

• Get directions before leaving the hotel or restaurant.
• Take taxis or shuttles you recognize.
• Walk with another person. Single targets are the most likely victims of crime.
• Not wear your badges or carry conference bags. Both identify out-of-towners.
• Avoid dark, isolated areas, such as closed plazas and apparent shortcuts back to the hotel.
