Our event will be spacious and mainly on one level, however, some vendors, lounges and workshops will be on the second floor. There is an elevator available to get to the second floor if needed (please contact staff at the event). Our venue does have multiple accessible toilets.
If you need parking close to the venue for accessibility reasons, please contact us at least 2 weeks before the event.
To anyone who struggles with crowds we would recommend to choose a Sunday entry ticket as it will most likely be quieter on that day.
