With World Routes just over a week away, it’s time to start planning for the event. We’ve compiled our top tips to help you prepare:

Print a copy of your e-badge barcode

Please print a copy of your e-badge barcode and take it to the registration desk. A member of staff will scan the barcode and issue your delegate badge. There will also be the option of self-scan registration at the Fira Gran Via which will require a barcode.

Registration times:

• Saturday 23 September: 12.00 -15.00 at the Fira Gran Via and 17.00-18.45 at Barcelona Shoko (Saturday Reception)
• Sunday 24–Tuesday 26 September: event opening times at the Fira Gran Via
