Frequently asked questions

Do I have to stay for the whole day?

You're welcome to come and go as you like, as long as you don't walk in front of the stage when someone is speaking.

Can I bring food or drinks into the Auditorium.

You certainly can. In fact the cafe is positioned right next to the Auditorium where the event is being held. We only ask that you make as little noise as possible if you are opening packaging.
