A VIP phone number for travel to an from the Social will be provided by the conference to ensure priority pickup.
Update: eCruisers
The dispatch numbers for eCruisers are 443-481-2422 and 443-497-4769.
The VIP Group code is ACAS. eCruiser operates on tips only. An
approximate value for a tip is $2/person recommended. The VIP status is
available only for Tuesday, all evening, to help people getting to and
from the social. However, the eCruiser will take you anywhere around
town you want to go. You don't have to come straight back to the hotel
from the Social, nor do you have to pick up the eCruiser at the hotel
or the Federal House Bar & Grill. Just call the dispatcher and
arrange for service for your party.
