    Plan your trip

    Planning

    1

    Check passport validity and confirm US visa or ESTA eligibility — DevLearn 2026 (4-6 November 2026) needs a B-1 business visitor visa or an approved ESTA under the Visa Waiver Program; apply well before booking flights.

    2

    Book flights to Harry Reid International Airport (LAS) — LAS is about 8 mi (13 km) from MGM Grand, roughly 15-25 minutes off-peak by taxi or rideshare.

    3

    Reserve a hotel room at MGM Grand or a nearby Strip property — Stay 3-4 November 2026 close to the venue so you can walk to sessions; the conference hotel removes commute and parking time.

    4

    6

    Shortlist conference sessions, workshops and DemoFest — Build a personal agenda across 200+ learning activities and leave room for the science fair-style DemoFest showcase.

    7

    Pre-schedule meetings with exhibitors and suppliers — Contact LMS, authoring tool, AR/VR and learning analytics vendors in advance to lock demo slots on their stands.

    8

    Plan airport to venue transport — Options include taxi or rideshare (USD 25-45), the Las Vegas Monorail from MGM Grand Station (from USD 5.00), or hotel self-parking on Las Vegas Blvd S.

    9

    Check the November weather and pack layers — Expect daytime highs near 20C and overnight lows near 7C; bring a jacket for cool evenings and air-conditioned halls.

    10

    Prepare business cards, notebook and meeting documents — Bring printed collateral and a device for lead capture and session note taking in BYOD workshops.

    11

    Confirm badge collection and registration desk hours — Registration is handled online through devlearn.com; check the organiser page for badge pickup location inside MGM Grand.

    12

    Arrive in Las Vegas and collect your badge — Arrive the day before the 4 November opening to settle in, collect your badge and attend the opening keynote refreshed.

    What is your primary role?

    Decision matrix

    Compare participation options side by side to choose the best fit for your objectives.

    visit

    Assess how this option fits your objectives.

    Best for

    L&D managers, instructional designers, eLearning developers and training operations leads who need to compare learning platforms, authoring tools, AI capabilities and assessment products in one place over three days.

    Min. budget

    $3,695.00

    Timeline

    4-6 weeks for registration, flights to LAS and a Strip hotel room; start 3-4 months ahead if a US B-1 visa interview is required.

    Risks

    Las Vegas hotel rates rise around early November conference dates and major Strip events.

    US B-1/B-2 interview appointment waits can run several weeks at some consulates.

    Popular conference sessions, workshops and DemoFest slots fill soon after registration opens.

    exhibit

    Assess how this option fits your objectives.

    Best for

    Vendors selling LMS or LXP platforms, eLearning authoring tools, AR/VR training simulation, accessibility testing and learning analytics who want stand time with thousands of corporate L&D buyers.

    Min. budget

    $16,627.00

    Timeline

    3-6 months to secure stand space, complete organiser forms, book staff travel and ship demo hardware to Las Vegas.

    Risks

    Expo space is limited to about 175+ suppliers and prime locations near the Expo Stages sell first.

    Freight and customs lead times for demo hardware can add weeks to your build schedule.

    Stand cost plus staff travel makes ROI dependent on pre-booked meetings rather than walk-up traffic.

    skip

    Assess how this option fits your objectives.

    Best for

    Suppliers outside the learning and development sector, and teams who cannot commit at least two days on the Expo floor or fund a Las Vegas trip for the 4-6 November 2026 dates.

    Min. budget
