Upon Arrival
Early Check-In
Beat the crowd! If you are coming to Taipei before the evening of October 22, you can check in and pick up your name tag at the Pre-Symposium Social Wednesday evening. Please have your ticket QR code ready.
Check-In and Onsite Registration
Check-in and onsite registration counters are located in the 1F Conference Hall lobby in the morning (8:00-11:30) and in front of the 1F Staff Room (between Room 101 and 103) in the afternoon (12:00-17:00).
Check-in Procedure
The check-in counters are organized into: 1) on-site registration and 2) pre-registration (organized alphabetically by the last name: A-D, F-J, K-L, M-S, T-Z).
If you have pre-registered, please prepare your QR code and approach the pre-registration check-in counter, arranged by the first letter of your last name. A staff member will check you in and provide your name tag. (If you signed up for the opening reception, you will also receive a ticket.) If you cannot find your QR code, provide the first three letters of your last name.
If you have not registered, please go to the on-site registration desk and scan the registration QR code to register online. Once you have the ticket QR code, a staff member will check you in and give you a blank name tag.
If you are not sure if you have registered, approach the on-site registration desk and provide the first three letters of your last name. A staff member will assist you.
On the first day, we will only have 30 minutes for check in before the opening ceremony starts. For a smooth check in experience, please have your QR code ready and follow the instructions from the SSLW staff. To help avoid the rush, please consider coming to the Pre-Symposium Social Wednesday evening, where you can check in and pick up your name tag.
