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 min

North 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 min

West 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 min

East 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 min

Anywhere, 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 Light 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.
