First-timer guide

Never been to Après? Here is everything worth knowing, in the order you will need it.

01

Before you go

  • Pick a pass. Gold includes Wednesday’s hands-on training; every pass includes the talks and the CTF.
  • Book lodging early. February is peak ski season and there is no hotel block.
  • Join the Discord to meet people before you land.
  • Bring a laptop, especially for training day and the CTF. Bring your favorite AI assistant too.

02

Getting there

  • Fly into Salt Lake City International (SLC). The venue is about 35 minutes away.
  • Parking is free in any Park City Hospital lot.
  • The venue is the Blair Education Center, 900 Round Valley Drive.

03

The days

  • Wednesday trainings start at 8:00 AM, with registration from 7:30.
  • Thursday and Friday registration opens at 8:00 AM, the opening session is at 8:30, and the keynote is at 9:00.
  • Talks run 50 minutes in a single track, so you never have to choose.
  • The CTF opens Thursday at 10:00 AM and closes Friday at 2:00 PM.

04

Food

  • Lunch is included for Gold and Silver Medal Pass holders.
  • More food is upstairs at the Silver King Cafe.
  • Après is the point: the conversations after 5:00 PM are the reason we exist.

05

After

  • Briefings are posted to YouTube after the summit. Workshops are not recorded.
  • Slides and videos are shared after the event.
  • Many attendees stay the weekend to ski. Bring your gear.

Be excellent to each other.
