Pre-register for GHC 18 Sessions

With 20,000 people attending GHC this year, it’s safe to say there may be pretty long lines for some of our sessions. To address this issue, we’re offering a pre-registration system, which will hold a seat for you up until 10 minutes before the session’s start time. We will have a limited number of stand-by seats available for each session.

We will open pre-registration Monday, August 6, 2 p.m. PT. Check out the steps below to learn how you can pre-register for GHC 18 sessions.

Attend Sessions at GHC 18

1. Pick up your GHC 18 badge at the registration desk. This badge will be connected to our pre-registration system.
2. If you pre-registered for a session, head to that session’s location at least 10 minutes before the session starts. We will scan your badge at the entrance for pre-registered attendees. If your badge scans green, you can take your seat. If your badge scans red, you will need to move to the stand-by line.
   NOTE: If you add or remove a session within 30 minutes of the session start time, you may be added to the stand-by list if the servers have not synced before you check in.
3. 10 minutes before the session begins, we will finish seating pre-registered attendees and begin to allow stand-by attendees to enter.

Please note that you can modify your pre-registration selections at any time by logging into your event summary and clicking the blue « Modify » button just above your General Information.

We look forward to seeing all of you in Houston!
