The Credential Centre is located in the South East corner of the DEC, Salon 110 A & B. This is where pre-arranged media, sponsor and corporate credentials are issued. Photo identification must be presented, and an insurance waiver signed for pick-up. Credentials are assigned to a specific individual, are non-transferable and must be picked up in person. Transfer or loaning of credentials by any individual will result in confiscation of the credential and refusal of entry to both the individual found with the credential, and the person to whom it was originally issued.
Credential Centre Hours:
Please note individual sanctioning bodies may operate on limited hours of operation. Credentials are not available for pick-up after the Credential Centre has closed for the day.
