Route Arda
Getting into the building
On the show floor · 840 ft
Starting somewhere else
Every route ends the same way
Whichever building you start in, the job is the same: get onto the Grand Concourse, cross the East/South Skywalk to East Building Level 3, then walk to the back wall and turn left. Only the first part changes.
South Building
You're already next door
The Grand Concourse runs along the South Building, and the skywalk to the East Building leaves from it. Find the concourse, follow the East Building signs, cross, then pick up step 3.
≈ 10 minNorth Building
Walk the concourse south
Get to the Grand Concourse and head south, through to the South Building. Keep going until you see signs for the East Building and the skywalk, then cross and pick up step 3.
≈ 15–18 minWest Building
The long one — budget for it
Take the Level 3 skybridge east into the South Building, drop to the Grand Concourse, then follow the East Building signs to the skywalk. This is the longest walk on the campus, so leave time.
≈ 20–25 minEast Building lobby
Straight up
If you came in through the East Building itself, take the escalators up to Level 3 and you're on our floor. Walk back through the hall to the north wall and turn left toward 135836.
≈ 4 minAnywhere, lost
Navigate by the big booths
Aim for Flow International or TRUMPF on Level 3 of the East Building. From either one, walk two rows toward the back wall and turn left. Or ask any info desk for booth 135836.

FAQ
Common questions
What does Arda cost?
Plans start at $35/mo. See /pricing for the full breakdown, and ask at the booth about the show price.
Do I need to replace my ERP?
No. Arda augments an ERP instead of replacing it. One customer runs Arda alongside SAP and Jira for shop-floor inventory their ERP wasn't built to track.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. The Solo plan runs a 7-day trial, month to month, no annual commitment.
How fast can I get set up?
The Quickstart Kit ships with a printer, a laminator, pre-cut cards, and USB scanners that need no drivers. Scanning starts the day it arrives.
Do I need to bring anything to the booth?
No. Bring your stockout list if you built one ahead of time. Otherwise we'll walk it with you at the booth.
At the booth
A show price, held for two years
Sign up at the booth and Arda locks your rate for two years, even if pricing changes later. The welcome kit comes free: printer, scanners, everything to start. We print and ship your first kanban cards for you.
