Please note badges only were mailed and lanyards will be picked up on-site at VIP Check-In

IF YOU DID NOT RECEIVE YOUR BADGE IN THE MAIL, NO WORRIES. You can pick up your badge + lanyard at VIP Check-In at B-130 at the Greater Columbus Convention Center beginning on Thursday, February 29. 

IF YOU PURCHASED YOUR VIP OR ULTIMATE EXPO AFTER FEB. 1, NO WORRIES. You too can pick up your badge + lanyard at VIP Check-In at B-130 at the Greater Columbus Convention Center beginning on Thursday, February 29.
