Attendee Updates
We are so excited for Innovation Summit! We have 1000+ members from 69 organizations registered, and 50+ vendors participating.
When arriving at the venue for the conference, you will need to pay to park unless you use the lot at the south end of the Convention Center. That lot has been sponsored by Silver Dollar City and Central Bank of Branson, to provide free parking.
Upon arrival we ask that all attendees check in at the registration table, located outside the ballroom, to pick up your conference lanyard which will be your ticket into each session. Registration opens at 8 AM on Thursday, and breakfast items will be provided.
Watch for an email from Sched each morning with your personal schedule for that day.
