Event Dates
The event will take place May 26–28. We recommend arriving at least one day early to settle in and make the most of your visit.

Late May marks the beginning of the rainy season, with warm temperatures year-round. Light, breathable clothing is ideal, along with comfortable shoes. A light rain jacket or umbrella is recommended for occasional showers.
Currency & Essentials
The official currency is the US dollar (USD). Credit cards are widely accepted, but having some cash on hand is useful for small purchases. Standard US power plugs are used.
Getting Around
Taxis and ride-hailing apps are the easiest way to get around, especially for visitors. If you plan to explore beyond the city, hotel-arranged transportation is a convenient option.
Language
Spanish is the official language. English is commonly spoken in hotels, restaurants, and event venues, but learning a few basic Spanish phrases is always appreciated.
