When the Labs for AF08 are posted at this website on May 30, you can chose the ones of interest and become familiar with the Lab registration procedure described below.
Always a popular feature at Automation Fair, Hands-On Labs allow you to work directly with Rockwell Automation products. On-site registration for Hands-On Labs is on a first-come, first-served basis at the times shown below. When you register for a lab you'll receive an admission ticket and are free to attend industry forums, technical sessions or just explore the show floor until the lab begins.
Hands-On Labs Registration
Registration for all Hands-On Labs will be outside the Delta Ballroom. Registration opens at:
- 7:30 AM for 8:30 AM Labs
- 10 AM for 11 AM Labs
- 1 PM for 2 PM Labs
Lab Registration Policy
Registration for all Hands-On Labs is on a first-come, first-served basis and will open one (1) hour prior to the posted Lab starting times. Lines typically form well in advance of the officially posted registration time. To maximize your time at the Fair, admission tickets for each Lab will be passed out as soon as a Lab signup line appears to be full — to avoid unnecessary waiting. All registered Lab attendees with admission tickets will have 10 minutes after each Lab starts to take their seat. If those registered individuals arrive after that 10-minute period, their seat may be given to a standby attendee.
Lab Standby Policy
To minimize the possibility of seats going unused in each Lab, a formal standby policy is being instituted. Passes for a percentage of seats in each Lab will be issued to those attendees wishing to be put on standby. In order to be considered for standby seating, you must check in at the Lab classroom prior to the start of the Lab. Any unclaimed seats will be given to a standby attendee in the order they signed in at the Lab classroom.
