Tips & Advice

  • Start in the Commons, which is the hub for the other four rooms and has the restrooms, the Information Booth and the Kids' Table.
  • Don't skip the Welcome Center off the Commons. It's behind glass doors, so it's easy to miss, and it's full of Alaskan-made goods.
  • Grab lunch from the food trucks and eat it at the indoor seating in the Student Center between rooms.
  • Visit the Auditorium to learn about this year's featured nonprofit, which receives the proceeds from booth fees.
