Help me use my words (re: pumping)

So tomorrow I'm required to go to a conference for all the teachers in my diocese. It's at a large convention center type place. I've been there before -- it's basically a warehouse with a snack stand and some bathrooms. I will need to pump once while I'm there, and I'm trying to figure out how to make this work. There is a 30 minute break during the sessions. My back up plan is to go out to my car to pump -- but hot and my pump doesn't suck that great when it's on battery power. 

How do I ask for a space to pump -- or if there's a space? Do I ask someone at the registration desk? My principal and coworkers will be there, but, honestly, I'm not sure they know I pump at work, and I don't know that they can provide any assistance since it's not at our building (in which case I'd use my classroom). Do you have any tips for me?

    Ditto PPs - call the facility and ask them what they have available.

    Hopefully they have something since, in theory, they have employees too that would potentially need a pumping room. Although sometimes those places aren't available for outside guests.

    Worst case scenario, could you bring a manual pump? Pumping a car isn't the best, but with a cover you'd be discrete and at least you could blast the a/c? 

    ETA - you should be able to get a car adapter instead of batteries.

    Good points. I'm now summoning up the courage to call and talk to someone about my boobs.

    I've had multiple all day meets and conferences and just asked around and didn't take no for an answer. You got this!
    I hope to create a real siggy but first I need some sleep!
