Will I have enough time to get my tickets before my workshops start?
Registration opens one hour before Workshops/Classes begin. Students will have plenty of time to get class tickets prior to classes — it's also a great time to look at the class availability list and buy a ticket or two for other great classes you want.

What are the show hours?
The vendor mall will be open:
Fri Nov 7 9am – 9pm
Sat Nov 8 9am – 6pm
Classes and Seminars will start at 9:15am on both Fri and Sat and run until 10pm. 
Late Night Crops and Quilt til you Wilt will run until 11:30pm

Where is the show?
BC's Creative Expo is being held at the Vancouver Convention Centre also known as Canada Place at #200, 999 Canada Place, Vancouver, BC V6C 3C1

Can I have my tickets mailed to me before the Expo?
YES!  We will MAIL tickets before the Expo if you register prior to Oct. 31.  So pre-registering is the way to go - get your tickets early and avoid standing in lines!  

Are children allowed at the Expo, and if so, do they need to purchase an admission ticket?
Children 10 and under are free of charge to the show floor. Please note NO children are allowed in classes or Crop Parties (exceptions may be made if the child is accompanied by an adult and participating with a paid class ticket).

Can I sign up for classes at the Expo rather than buying them ahead of time?
Yes, you can purchase class tickets, based on availability, starting at 8 am each day. Note that classes may sell out before the Expo opens, so be sure to pre-register if there is a class that you really don't want to miss.

Will there be plenty of activities to keep me busy all day?
Yes, there will be many vendor booths, Make n’ Takes and demos on the show floor, free stage to view,  card contest wall to view, quilt block wall to view, not to mention numerous hands-on workshops to choose from throughout the Expo. Follow that up with a Late Night Crop or Evening Class and you'll probably find time at a premium!

Is there a cost for parking?
Parking at the convention center was last quoted at $20/day, but they reserve the right to change that.  You can also take the Sky Train to Waterfront Station and walk half a block to Canada Place.

Registration begins on August 5, 2008 at 9:30am.
