To ensure a smooth transition between registrants of our 24-hour event, we have established the following guidelines. Please read carefully to understand how the process will work.

  1. Exit Transition for First 12-Hour Slot Registrants: 

    • One Hour Prior Notification: Registrants in the first 12-hour slot will receive a text message reminder one hour before their scheduled exit time. Additionally, prompts will be displayed on the projector screens to notify participants of the approaching transition. 

    • Gather Belongings: We kindly ask all registrants to start gathering their belongings and wrapping up their activities when they receive the notification. This will help ensure a smooth and timely exit.

    • Exit Process: When the transition time arrives, please proceed to the designated exit areas where our team members will be available to assist you with any questions or needs you may have.

  2. Entrance Transition for Second 12-Hour Slot Registrants

  • Check-In Team Preparation: Our check-in team will be in place one hour prior to the arrival of new registrants. This preparation time is essential to ensure that all check-in procedures are ready for a seamless entry process.

  • Arrival and Check-In: New registrants are welcome to arrive and begin the check-in process promptly at the start of their 12-hour slot. Our team will be there to greet you, verify your registration, and provide you with any necessary materials or information for the event.

  • We will communicate to first-shift registrants that if they desire to stay for the full 24 hours they will be permitted to do so once all second-shift registrants have been seated.


If I chose the first 12 hour shift will I be allowed to stay for the whole event?
We want to emphasize that reentry to the event for the first 12 hour shift attendees``1 is not guaranteed and is subject to available seating. Following the transition guidelines, exiting the building to accommodate new registrants is necessary.
