WHAT SHOULD I CHOOSE?

Start with the time you can give.

Both paths lead to the same rooms, speakers and practical conversations. The difference is how much of the convention you want to attend.

Choose the full pass if…

You want the complete arc of the convention, from Thursday’s kickoff through Saturday’s sessions and awards celebration. It is the simplest choice and the best overall value.

Choose half-days if…

You need flexibility or can attend only selected program periods. Review the program first, then select every half-day you plan to attend so we can prepare accurate room and badge counts.
