Anyone entering the Exhibit Hall is required to have a badge at all times, even during Set Up.
EXHIBIT HALL SECURITY
Entry to the Exhibit hall is restricted when the Hall is closed to ensure safety and security. No one will be allowed in the Exhibit Hall during closed hours unless approved by the Symposia Director or the Director of Exhibitor Services. If approval is granted, the exhibitor will be escorted by symposia staff or security.
SET UP ARMBANDS REQUIRED
Armbands are required for exhibitors setting up or breaking down booths.
Here’s what you need to know about the Set Up Armband:
- Valid only during set up times, Sunday – Monday and again Thursday and Friday.
- Retrieving a Set Up Armband does not require a registration form. Your Set Up crew simply needs to pick up an armband from the security.
- ATPS Event badges are required to enter the Exhibit Hall outside of Set Up hours. You can pick up your event badge starting Sunday, 1630-1800 and use it throughout the Symposia.

Exhibitors must register and pay an additional Short Course fee to attend.
FREE PASS
The Exhibit Hall is open to the public at specific times during the event. Attendees who register online or on-site may receive free access to the Exhibit Hall during the following times:
- Tuesday – 1030 to 1800
- Wednesday – 1030 to 1830
- Thursday – 0900 to 1230
We encourage exhibitors to pass on the information about Free Pass so that more visitors will drop by your booths. We will supply exhibitors with digital flyers for Free Pass registration.
IMPORTANT NOTES
