Which nights should you book for 2027 IADR/APR General Session & Exhibition?
Exhibitors typically arrive on 2027-06-22 to set up stands and depart after breakdown on 2027-06-26, so booking from the evening of 22 June through the morning of 27 June is common. Trade visitors attending for a single day may only need one night — for example, if you are there for the first full day on 23 June, arrive the evening before; if you are only attending 26 June, book for the night of 25 June. Since the exhibition runs across four full days, many choose to stay for at least three nights (22–25 June) to cover setup, show days, and breakdown logistics.
