Bild Expo is an in-person event.  We have created an amazing schedule of events in a world-renowned venue to make Bild incredibly special.  The programs will be best enjoyed live – both the formal parts of the days and the informal networking, interactions, and friend-forming opportunities for our community.  We understand that some people cannot join us at Bild.  We will be livestreaming most of the Bild Main Stage speaker presentations on our website and on our YouTube channel.  We will record most of the presentations from all of the stages to share on our YouTube channel after Bild ends.

Yes.  You can pick up your badge at the B&H SuperStore on 34th Street on Monday 9/4 between 10am – 6pm and on Tuesday 9/5 between 10am and 3:30pm.
