The daily night-day temperature range will be 65-85F (18-30C) with relatively high humidity. As is typical for the summer here, we expect 1-2 rainy days, so an umbrella is recommended.</div><div class="">2. Conference participants will receive a UGIM 2018 backpack with a luggage tag, a brochure, paper, pens, etc.</div><div class="">3. We are making final program tweaks, which are minimal.
