    == icon:calendar-alt[size=fw]  When to arrive?

As a generic rule of thumb, if you are mainly there for the event itself, day 0 (i.e. the day before the official start) is considered a good day to arrive.

On day 0, buildup is nearly completed, most infrastructure is done and in the evening the cash desk will already be open, so you can exchange your QR code into a wristband without having to queue too long.

In addition, the halls are not yet as crowded as during the event, so day 0 is a good opportunity to familiarize yourself with the venue and have a look around without the fear of missing any interesting talks.

[TIP]
.Being a Hero
====
If you want to be a real hero, consider helping with teardown instead of buildup.

Usually, a lot of highly motivated people are keen to help with buildup, but after the event, most people are tired and want to get home to rest. The more people stay a day or two longer and help, the faster we all will be able to watch all the talks we missed during the event while relaxing at home.
====

If you want to have a more detailed look behind the scenes and are not afraid of all sorts of manual labor like carrying heavy stuff and building all the infrastructure, you are welcome to arrive earlier and help without buildup.

However, there is only so much work to do and a lot of tasks cannot be parallelized, so if you would like to help, please have a look at the relevant posts in the event https://events.ccc.de/[event blog] or contact the https://c3loc.de/[LOC] for the specific details.
