FAQs

What is included with a PASS and what is not?

There are two passes available a Friday/Saturday/Sunday Merchant Hall Pass and a Saturday/Sunday Merchant Hall Pass. Both of these entitle the holder to attend any event held in Merchant Hall. The Friday/Saturday/Sunday pass includes the all day workshop on Friday.

Most events held in Beacon Hall (BH) are not included with the pass and must be purchased separately.

How do I know I will have a seat if I buy a Pass?

Merchant hall is a 1500 seat auditorium. Even with our largest audiences for our main events there is always plenty of room.

Where can I contact the organizer with any questions?

Why should I register online?

Some items may sell out, so by buying online you can guarantee yourself the classes you want. You will also avoid waiting in line for your passes at the event.
