When to Arrive & Depart

Depending on your pass, we recommend arriving the day before you have access to the event! This gives you time to settle in, explore the venue, and ensure you're refreshed and ready to dive into every moment once sessions begin or the exhibit hall opens!

We recommend departing late April 2 or at any time on April 3, so that you can enjoy every minute of the event without rushing to catch a flight. The exhibit hall closes at 3pm on April 2.
