As a newbie, any reputable track day entity will pair you up with an instructor until they determine that it's OK for you to run solo.
For your first time out, I'm recommending that you leave the alignment where it is, assuming that it's somewhere near the middles of the various ranges. This will put you out on the track in the car that you know, instead of trying to learn the car's changes in addition to all the new track day topics. It'll be a slightly 'conservative' setup, meaning that you'll have a bit more margin against small driving mistakes. Increased speeds and lower lap times will come with more seat time, and you'd probably begin to have some idea from looking at your tires if/when and which tires might need camber to be more negative.
