Wayfinding
We have placed numerous clear and prominent signs throughout the event venue to aid in wayfinding and help you easily identify locations and directions. Additionally, we have dedicated volunteers available at terminals 1 & 3 of the airport on August 14th from 9am to 5pm to assist you to find a way to public transportation. Please note that while they are there to provide support, they will not be able to accompany you or pick you up personally.
