Are there limited seating sessions that I need to sign up for?

What should I wear?
We suggest comfortable shoes — you’ll be doing a lot of walking from your hotel room to the conference space, from session to session and navigating the Exhibit Showcase. Business-casual dress is what most attendees opt for, but we also recommend that you dress in layers, as the conference rooms can get chilly.
Am I able to purchase a copy of the attendee list?
No. Gartner does not post or sell attendee lists. For more details, please review the registration terms and conditions.
In the conference industry, we often come across fraudulent service providers who claim to be able to offer attendee lists or discounted passes. Gartner has not authorized anyone to contact you on our behalf and we encourage you to avoid these attempts by not engaging with suspicious emails or calls as they are phishing scams. If you have been contacted by such a provider please inform Gartner at ConferencePhishing@gartner.com.
