Good deal, thanks for the replies. I'm staying at the SpringHill Suites downtown and planned on leaving my bag there during the Expo. Nothing was mentioned in the packet, has anyone heard anything different regarding storage?

Nope. I was also curious. I am literally just bringing a messenger bag, so I planned on bringing it with me. Commuting in my suit, carrying an extra set of clothes in the bag. Trying to be as lightweight and mobile as possible. I would like to get out of MEM on Wednesday if possible. That said, my arm could always be twisted into staying if "networking" were involved.

Just a heads up, the initial email said business casual for the Expo. I heard that when they say business casual, they truly mean it. No need to read between the lines and dress up.

Slacks and a Oxford shirt here. Planning on taking hotel shuttle to MEM then the FedEx shuttle. Uber as a last resort.

I use uber in Memphis, but it is not the same response you will see in some other cities, particularly around the airport. The number of drivers available will be limited, and getting through the gate usually works, but sometimes security will hassle them. If you are saving uber for a last choice, be prepared to wait a couple of minutes for your ride.

Staying at the courtyard southhaven. Anyone staying in that area? I'll be Ubering back from the hub tour tomorrow night as the shuttles stops at 11 if anyone wants to tag along if you are staying down that way.

I emailed the expo address and asked them about luggage. The reply was they have a place for it, just let them know at check-in.

However I did rent a car so I will probably just leave mine in it during the expo. The pull of BBQ was too strong.
