Things to note:

• You MUST be prompt for your classes, at least 15 minutes prior to workshop start time, as they will be spread out and you will likely be guided and/or transported to class.
• Meals and water will not be sold or provided by PhotoCon Hawai‘i on-site. They must either be pre-ordered or brought from home. However, there is an opportunity to purchase meals from Kualoa Ranch, but responsibility lies with the attendee to purchase meals and also stay on schedule. More details below.
• There will be physical activity involved. There are no paved roads and the terrain is uneven. Acceptance of our liability waiver is required to register and attend. Please contact PhotoCon Hawai‘i for special accommodations or needs.
