Practical guides
Everything needed to arrive prepared, navigate the event, and make the visit productive.
Compare flights to the nearest international gateway serving Lake Buena Vista; confirm ground transport on the organiser site.
International attendees need either a US B-1 business visitor visa or, for eligible Visa Waiver Program countries, an approved ESTA before travel; Canadian citizens generally enter visa-free for business visits. Confirm your specific nationality on the US Department of State site.
Estimated cost: B-1 visa application fee approx. USD 185; ESTA approx. USD 21 - confirm current fees on official US government pages
Processing: B-1 visa interview wait times vary widely by consulate; apply well before the October 2026 show. ESTA is typically decided within 72 hours but apply at least a week ahead.
Carry a printed conference confirmation and hotel booking for the port-of-entry officer. B-1 visitors cannot take paid employment in the US; conference attendance and contract negotiation are permitted.
