Good to know

Kickoff FAQ.

Is the kickoff really free for competitors?+

Yes. Both days of the kickoff and the November finale are included in the competitor fee. No separate ticket, no upsell.

Can spectators come to just one day?+

The Kickoff Pass covers both days, and you're welcome to come for one day or both. Attendance is flexible.

Is there a dinner or after-party?+

A private sponsor dinner is hosted at the kickoff for partners, scientific advisors, and competitors. It's not part of the public ticket and isn't required for any part of the contest or conference.

What if I can't make it in person?+

Virtual competitors join the kickoff and finale by live stream, with dedicated virtual programming. Sessions are mirrored online so you don't miss the working parts of the program.

How do I get on the expo floor?+

Exhibit booths are handled via the sponsor track. Start at the Sponsor page or write to hello@neuroagetx.com.
