This is a unique meeting space located in the Agri-Trade side of the show grounds. If you are unsure how to get here, please ask your IBC staff and volunteers! They will be happy to show you where this space is.
For anyone arriving to the show grounds prior to Tuesday, November 29, you will gain access to the grounds free without having to show any accreditation, courtesy of CWA’s partner, CN. Arriving on Tuesday or later, you will receive an email from noreply@authentigate.ca with a complimentary gate pass for #CWA2023.
The ticket can be downloaded to your phone or printed prior to travelling to the show. Upon arrival, present the e-Pass to the gate attendant to scan for entry. What’s next? Head up to the International Business Centre (IBC) to pick up your registration package, which contains your 2023 Visitor’s Badge. This badge will be your multi-use gate pass for the duration of your visit to #CWA2023.
If you used the same email address to register more than one guest, you will receive a separate e-Pass email for each guest registered.
Each e-Pass contains a unique barcode that is validated when scanned at the gate. Once scanned, the barcode immediately becomes invalid for any subsequent entries. So, it’s important to stop by the IBC when you arrive at the show.
