5. Key Tips for Expo Attendees
Attending the Gesund Leben event can be exciting but also overwhelming if it’s your first time. To make the most of your experience, preparation is key. Here are five simple tips to help you get ready:
- Early Arrival for Sessions: Arrive at the designated room well before the scheduled time to get a seat. For example, if the event starts at 10 a.m., arriving at least an hour early helps you secure a spot, as spaces are limited and filled on a first-come, first-served basis.
- No Interruptions During Sessions: Once a lecture or fitness session has started, you won’t be able to enter the room, so make sure to be on time.
- Dress Appropriately: For fitness sessions, wearing sportswear is recommended. For example, comfortable workout clothes like shorts and a t-shirt work best. There are changing rooms available, and you can either store your sports bag in the cloakroom for a small fee or keep it with you at the edge of the room during the session.
- Bag Policy: You can bring bags and backpacks, but be aware that random security checks may happen at the entrance. If you have a sports bag or other items, you can leave it in the cloakroom for €1.
- Discounted Tickets: Students, pupils, and severely disabled individuals (with a disability level of 50% or higher) can get discounted tickets by presenting valid ID for on-site verification.
