• Wednesday: 10h – 23h (11pm) (please try not to arrive after 20h (8pm))
• Thursday: 9h – 10h30 (Dealers Room opens to the public at 11h)

Tuesday the decorating company will be setting up tables in the Exhibit Hall, so it will not be possible to setup your table then, but if you arrive on Tuesday, and don’t want to leave your merchandise locked in your car, there will be a limited amount of space for storing your boxes overnight in the exhibit hall.

You can pick up your membership badges at Registration (in the hallway outside of 210). For Wednesday and Thursday, the hours for Registration will be 9h – 20h (8pm)
Pickup your badges early to avoid the crowds.

For those who are interested, Neil Gaiman’s autograph session will be Fri 16:00 – 17:30. The location will be in the Exhibit Hall, just outside of the Dealers Room. (Other authors will have autograph sessions through out the convention)
