Main Stage Programming: Fans can attend all main stage panels on a first-come, first-served basis until the room reaches capacity. No registration is required. 

Workshops: Fans are welcome to watch workshops on a first-come, first-served basis, subject to room capacity. Select workshops will also offer hands-on participation, which requires advance registration on a first-come, first-served basis. Participation is limited and available while space lasts. 

Entry to the event does not guarantee admission to any specific panel, workshop, or special experience. All programming and workshop participation is subject to capacity. Full programming details and workshop registration information will be announced closer to the event.

Participants under the age of eighteen (18) will have access to watch the workshops and will have access to activities in the “kids zone”.
