Updated Summit Pre-Arrival InfoDump

We sent out a big email blast to everyone this morning (noon Eastern time), and if you didn’t get it it’s because (probably) your corporate email is block-block-blocking us. You’re welcome to sign up a personal email address at http://eepurl.com/cEcNlT, if you’d like. We’ll also continue to post communications in the #summit-events channel in the Slack team. A PDF of this morning’s email is here, although this’ll be the last one we post publicly.
