Room Overcrowding

Sessions at the Conference on Teaching Excellence are non-ticketed (except keynote luncheons), which means seats are available on a first-come, first-serve basis. 

For your safety, and because of fire regulations, meeting rooms that fill to capacity will be restricted thereafter. ASCD staff and hotel personnel must follow local fire regulations and will ask participants in overcrowded sessions to leave the room. Standing room is not an option; only persons occupying a seat will be allowed to remain in meeting rooms.

Whenever possible, we have attempted to honor presenters' room-size requests. Although we have tried to schedule popular topics in rooms large enough to accommodate potential crowding, we cannot always accurately anticipate attendance, nor are all presenters prepared to work with large crowds.

Express Check-In

Self Check-In Name Badge Procedure

To ensure that you have the best possible conference experience, we're excited to bring you the self check-in name badge. 

1. Prior to the conference, you will receive an e-mail from ASCD that contains a confirmation QR code that will admit you to the conference. 
2. Either print out this QR code and bring it with you or access it on-site with your mobile device.
3. When you arrive at the conference, go to the ASCD registration area located in the Centennial Ballroom Foyer in the Hyatt Regence Denver. 
4. Scan your QR code at one of the express check-in laptops, which will immediately generate a printed badge. Pick it up along with your name badge holder and program book. 

As always, our staff will be available to answer any questions you may have.
