FAQs

• Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA)
• Data Plan Updates
  • Wi-Fi will be available at the event (in the convention center space) for purchase.
  • International visitors should check with their mobile provider before traveling to confirm international data plan options. Many U.S. carriers offer short‑term travel packages, and several airports—including both Chicago O’Hare (ORD) and Midway (MDW)—offer kiosks where travelers can purchase prepaid SIM cards or eSIM plans. We recommend securing a plan in advance to ensure access to event schedules, transportation details, and venue information throughout the weekend.
• Wristbands
  • ​Missing your wristbands? Head to the Convention Center and look for the CLRG registration table for assistance.
