Attending the seminars
Seminars are held on the second and third floor of Tampere Hall. You can reach the seminar rooms by stairs or elevators. Please follow the signs on-site; staff will assist if needed.
The seminar rooms have limited capacity, so it is encouraged to be there before the program starts if you want to ensure your place. You can enter the seminar rooms by showing both your pass and wristband at the door.

The seminars listed in the schedule are free to enter with all passes, and you can leave or enter the seminar rooms during the program.

However, some program sections require registration in advance, more info for these can be found in the schedule and program description.

Event Accessibility
All of Tampere Hall’s conference facilities and public areas are wheelchair-accessible. There are threshold ramps in all doorways and automatically opening exterior doors. The corridors and doorways are wide and the end of the staircase railings is indicated by a tactile marker on the last step. Tampere Hall's accessible toilets are located on the first floor and on the ground floor, which can be accessed by an elevator. Tiketti-, Gramex- and Pågå rooms have an induction loop. 
There is space reserved for wheelchairs in the seminar rooms. Tampere Hall's staff is trained to guide and assist customers with mobility and sensory impairments. We recognise the sunflower lanyard, which signals an invisible disability. 
Tampere Hall is a We Speak Gay venue, ensuring the event is a safe and welcoming place for everyone. 

There is an equality and harassment contact person at the event. Information on how to reach them can be found here.
