Remember remarks made during your presentation, or a Q&A session, may be considered on the record. Contact your public affairs office or the MHSRS media relations team if you have questions or if a member of the media contacts you.

Safety and Security for Active Duty Military and Federal Government Civilians

Limit as much as possible wearing of uniforms outside the event and hotel locations.
Try as much as possible to use the buddy system when traveling and visiting areas away from the event.
Make sure valuables such as government cell phones and laptops are secured when not in use, and to use VPN.
Report anything that causes concern to hotel staff and on-site security as soon as possible.

Remember OPSEC and TARP training, limit conversations with strangers concerning work as conferences are one of the most targeted activities where people are contacted for information either in person, or through social media. Be wary of new friend requests as a result of conversations from strangers you met at the conference. Not saying meeting new friends is wrong, just be wary of those that may be trying gather information because of our DoD affiliations.

Shuttles

Shuttle service will be provided to/from the Orlando International Airport (MCO), to/from inter-hotels, and to/from Disney Springs.
