### First-Timers Orientation

Sunday, 15 Nov 2026, 4–5 pm CST

McCormick Place, Room TBD

To help you get started, we host a **First-Timers Orientation** at the beginning of conference week. You’ll get an overview of what’s happening, tips for navigating the program, and a chance to meet other first-time attendees. The session ends with Q&A and is open to all registered attendees.

![Image 7: Visa](https://sc26.supercomputing.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/visa-1.jpg)

### Housing

If you’re coming to SC you’ll need a place to stay. Booking your hotel through the authorized contractor for arranging hotel rooms, onPeak, has many advantages. Housing opens 3 June.

Be sure to review the information on the [housing](https://sc26.supercomputing.org/housing/) page. SC has several room blocks reserved in the vicinity of the convention center, McCormick Place.

### Registration

Full details regarding [registration](https://sc26.supercomputing.org/registration/) for SC become available in the weeks before registration officially opens. There will be several categories from which to choose. Registration opens 8 July.

If you’re attending from outside the United States, review the information for [visa applications](https://sc26.supercomputing.org/visa-applications/) and start your application process early.

Pro Tips

Hotel rooms book up early, so be sure to explore your housing needs as soon as housing opens.

Badges are not mailed in advance. You’ll pick up your badge at registration upon arrival with your government-issued ID.

We recommend picking up your badge the day before your first session so you don’t miss out.

You may register to be at SC in-person, or you may register for Digital Experience only and attend virtually.

### Schedule

The online schedule is your definitive guide to what’s happening where and when at SC. It is typically launched in late spring, with full program content building through fall.

An online [map of the exhibit floor](https://hallerickson.ungerboeck.com/prod/app85.cshtml?aat=337677594373777a4156615838445849366d7042356245527458414a394c7755685656754c6770492b31773d) is available now. It contains the most current list of exhibitors and their locations in the convention center, McCormick Place.

### Digital Experience

The Digital Experience is SC’s custom virtual event platform that is integrated with the conference schedule. Full details will become available when registration launches in July.

### Additional Tools

The SC26 Mobile App will launch in early November for download to Apple and Android devices.

A printed pocket guide, the Conference at a Glance, will be available at registration when you pick up your badge. It will include session listings and a map of McCormick Place.

A printed folding map of the exhibit floor in detail will also be available at registration.

Pro Tips

Flag sessions in the schedule to create your own personalized agenda for your time at SC.

Exhibits are only open Tuesday through Thursday, so make sure you save time on those days to explore them.

The mobile app contains point-to-point navigation to ensure you won’t get lost in McCormick Place.

Catch up on sessions you missed by accessing recorded sessions in the Digital Experience.

## Convention center Map

**A map of the convention center, McCormick Place, will be provided here in late spring.**

### Community Engagement

Our [community engagement](https://sc26.supercomputing.org/community-engagement/) efforts support specific needs of the SC community, including accessibility, family and child care, programming, art, and other resources for attendees.

**IEEE CS Assist & SIGHPC CARES**

SC welcomes everyone regardless of gender, age, sexual orientation, disability, race, or religion.

[IEEE-CS Assist](https://www.computer.org/conferences/assist) and the [SIGHPC Committee to Aid Reporting on Discrimination and Harassment](https://www.sighpc.org/cares) (CARES) will have an office staffed with representatives where you can seek advice at the SC Conference.[](https://www.computer.org/conferences/assist)

**Family Resources**

Attendees who bring their children (ages 6 months to 5 years) to SC can avail themselves of child care services while they attend sessions and workshops during the day—registration and fees required. There is also a Parents Room near Child Care. SC celebrates Family Day**,** inviting attendees to bring their families to the Exhibit Hall on Wednesday, 3–6 pm. Registration of family members is required. Review the information at [Family Resources](https://sc26.supercomputing.org/attendees/family-resources/) for full details.

**Location & Venue**

Familiarize yourself with our host city, [Chicago](https://sc26.supercomputing.org/attendees/chicago/). And visit our [convention center](https://sc26.supercomputing.org/convention-center/) page for information regarding accessibility and other amenities such as public transportation, parking, coat check, and the sensory respite room.

### Health & Safety

We take the well-being of our attendees very seriously. SC’s [Code of Conduct](https://sc26.supercomputing.org/code-of-conduct/) contains our policies and commitments to ensure a safe and joyful conference experience for all.

Additionally, use common sense as you would in any large city:

*   Don’t wear your badge outside the convention center, and be aware of your surroundings.
*   Don’t walk alone at night, use the buddy system, and stay on well-lit or major streets at night.
*   Carry a phone in case of emergencies and have at least one other attendee’s contact information.
*   Ask hotel staff if certain areas are safe before going out.
*   Do not leave belongings unattended.

### Wireless Access

Networking resources are provided free of charge. The wireless network extends to meeting rooms, the exhibit hall, and all common areas of the convention center occupied by SC.

There are two ways to access the network:

*   **SC26** or **SC26v6** SSIDs are the general, unencrypted wireless access for most attendees and exhibitors.
*   The **eduroam** SSID is an encrypted wireless connection authenticated using preconfigured user credentials from their participating institutions. If you do not have an eduroam account before you arrive at the conference, or if your institution does not participate in eduroam, you will not be able to connect to the eduroam server.
*   Resolve connection issues at the **SCinet Help Desk** on the exhibit floor.

Pro Tips

If you are involved in or witness harassment of any kind, [contact us](https://sc26.supercomputing.org/contact-us/?topic=Code+of+Conduct).

Wear comfortable shoes to SC – there’s a lot of ground to cover with so much to see and do.

Children 6 months and under may be brought into all conference sessions.

Please turn off your MiFi and hotspot devices to improve wireless services for everyone!

## First-Timers FAQ

**What to bring?**

Overall, pack as usual for a weeklong trip. We suggest bringing the following:

*   Copies of your resume and/or business cards (most hotels have business centers if you need to print more).
*   Laptop (for tutorials, taking notes, checking Slack).
*   Appropriate outerwear for the weather, temperatures in Chicago will average 48ºF/9ºC highs and 34ºF/1ºC lows. 
*   Business casual attire and comfortable walking shoes.

**How do I get to the Convention Center or my hotel?**

For traveling from the airport to the convention center, we recommend public transit, airport shuttles, or a taxi/Uber/Lyft.

*   Find information on travel to McCormick Place and the hotels on our [convention center](https://sc26.supercomputing.org/convention-center/) page.
*   The McCormick Place website has good information regarding [public transit](https://www.mccormickplace.com/getting-here/public-transportation/) options.
*   [Google Maps](https://maps.google.com/) is excellent for getting around downtown and has public transit information. 
*   If you are traveling by car, parking is available at the convention center and at hotels. Review the information on [parking at McCormick Place](https://www.mccormickplace.com/getting-here/parking-rates/).

**Is there a shuttle bus service from the hotel to the convention center?**

SC provides shuttle bus service from select hotels to and from the convention center. There will not be shuttle service from all hotels as some are within walking distance. In past years, shuttles have run every 15-30 minutes. There will be a shuttle bus map and schedule posted on the [Housing & Shuttles](https://sc26.supercomputing.org/housing/) page in the summer of 2026.

**What sessions can I attend?**

Your registration category will determine which sessions you can attend. The technical program registration will give you access to much of what the conference offers, including the keynotes, papers, posters, workshops, and the exhibit hall. If you want more hands-on sessions, we encourage you to also register for tutorials. Attending a variety of sessions is an excellent way to engage with and benefit from the program fully.

**When should I register and pick up my badge?**

We encourage you to [register before arriving](https://sc26.supercomputing.org/registration/) at the conference. You may also register in Chicago, but you’ll miss out on savings if you don’t register early. Either way, you will pick up your badge at the registration desk once you arrive at McCormick Place. Details on the location will be shared closer to the conference.

### Stay Informed
