Rhett & Link at Gel 2008
Below is the schedule for Gel 2009. (Last update: April 9, 2009)
Monday, April 20 is the deadline to transfer tickets at no charge. Tickets may be transferred after this date for a fee - see the Gel 2009 transfer and refund policy.
Thursday, April 23 is the last day to make Day 1 event choices. (If you've already bought your ticket, log in to make your choices.) After April 23, all Day 1 assignments are final. If your ticket is transferred after April 23, you will be assigned the Day 1 choices for the person who previously held your ticket.
Location: Various venues throughout NYC; not the TimesCenter. Morning and afternoon Day 1 events are not at the TimesCenter.
The Gel 2009 conference begins on "Day 1," Thursday, April 30. Assuming you submitted Day 1 choices on time and were then assigned to Day 1 events, this is roughly what your itinerary will look like:
• Starting 9am or 10am: Morning event, starting between 9am and 10am (depending on the event you're assigned to), and ending around noon or 12:30pm. Each morning event is intended for attendees to meet each other and participate in a group activity - a multiplayer game, a murals tour, a juggling class, etc.
(Lunch isn't catered on Day 1, so attendees should grab a bite before heading to their afternoon tour.)
• Starting 2pm: Afternoon event, starting at 2pm, ending between 4pm and 5:30pm, depending on the event. Afternoon offerings will vary - some walking tours, some workshops and seminars.
• 7pm to 9pm: All-attendee reception. Details are posted on your Gel 2009 itinerary page right now (registered attendees can log in to see their itinerary).
Location: All Friday events take place at the TimesCenter. Enter on 41st St. between 7th and 8th Aves (see map). Presentations will take place in the main theater. Breaks, lunch, and cocktails will take place in the simulcast room downstairs.
Note that we will check IDs at the door. Please let us know before the free transfer deadline of April 20 if someone else will be attending instead of you. If you need to transfer your ticket after April 20, see our transfer policy.)

• 7:45am: Registration opens, and breakfast begins - bagels, juice, and coffee.
