EVO 2018 Schedule

This weekend is going to be packed full of events at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center, and with doors opening at 8:00 AM each day, participants will want to get there early to ensure they get a good seat, or wake up a bit early to make a coffee before the stream begins.

Before the event actually starts, event-goers will want to swing by the badge pickup, located at Bayside C of the convention center. Badge pickups only operate in small windows:

  • Thursday, August 2 – 12PM – 11PM
  • Friday, August 3 – 6:30AM – 930PM
  • Saturday, August 4 – 7:30AM – 930PM
