FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Does it matter what device I use when signing up?

We recommend using a desktop or laptop when signing up for sessions.

Do I have to sign up for all sessions in advance?

Some sessions, such as workshops and Fast Tracks, have limited capacity and will require you to sign up in advance. Signing up for sessions will help you plan out your days at the festival and allow you to easily access your schedule!

Why am I unable to select a session I want?

When sessions are full or have a time conflict with another session you’ve already selected, you will not be able to select the new session.

Where do I view the sessions I signed up for?

You can view your personal schedule at any time on your personal agenda page starting August 5 at 1:00 PM ET for passes with early session reservations and August 19 at 1:00 PM ET for all other pass holders. This will also allow you to add your sessions to your calendar for easy access.
