3. Event Registration:

  • We will take care of your registration for the event. Before the event, you’ll receive a barcode via email. You can either print this at home or display it on your device. This barcode will be scanned at the Registration Area in the foyer outside Hall B, at Huntington Place, where your badge will be printed on-site.

4. Speaker Room Check-In:

  • On the day of your session, please visit our team in the Speaker Room located on Level 1 – Room 112D at least 1 hour before your session begins. This allows us to personally meet with all speakers well in advance of their sessions, as we have concurrent tracks.
