Proof of Vaccination

U.S residents are being asked to upload their full vaccination proof to the Health Pass by CLEAR, via the free CLEAR mobile app. Vaccination info should be uploaded at least 24 hours before you arrive and it can take up to 30 minutes for your vaccination status to be checked. You will need your government-issued photo ID to hand before you start. Learn more vaccination details, as well as health and safety protocols, here.

There will be 9 brand-new tech and innovation education tracks, reflecting the times we live and work in. Sessions include the future of virtual/ hybrid and live events and building community. Check out the sessions here.
