UPDATE:
The alarm situation has been cleared and elevators are working. Thank you for your patience.
Parents, ICAKids for #ICA23 were evacuated to a prearranged safe location, they will now return.
Chairs, when you start your sessions, please take the delay into account when dividing the time among presenters. We recommend truncating or removing the Q&A. Thank you.
Previous: As you can hear, there is a fire alarm situation located on the lobby level that is being handled. Elevators are disabled and the hotel has not yet told people to evacuate. We will hold the start of the first session until the alarm has been resolved and chairs will need to adjust their speakers' allotted times accordingly.
