FAQs

Are there ID or minimum age requirements to enter the event?

Kids should be at least 5 years of age and not over 12 years of age

What are my transportation/parking options for getting to and from the event?

You should arrive in your own car or any form of conveyance. Plenty of parking is available and free at the venue. Building 200 is one of the buildings in this larger corporate complex. So it is easy to be a little lost once you enter Lanidex PLaza from Parsippany Road. This is what you should do. Make the first right once you make a turn to Lanidex Plaza from Parsippany road. Head straight and the road turns left after about 100 yards. Building 200 is the one you will see threafter. Its on the corner and you will find a vast parking lot pretty vacant. Just park and head into the buiding. You will see Net Serpents LLC on the sign board (that is our own company) and as you walk past the sign board you will find on your left a glass door with Hadoop Express and Net Serpents printed on it. Walk in, you made it!
