Which nights should you book for RDS - Bridge?

Most attendees travel in for the event and leave the next morning, especially since it is a midweek talk and many are working the following day. If you are arriving from out of town, plan to check in before the talk begins; if you are local, a same-day check-in is likely sufficient.
