Vehicle access for badge holders will be through Gate No. 1, while Gate No. 5A has been designated for accredited media personnel and Media Centre staff. A golf cart facility will also be available for transit within the complex.

Following the inaugural session, invitees may attend other scheduled sessions on Level 3 and proceed to the Food Court or the AI Impact Expo Arena. Re-entry to Level 3 will be permitted depending on seat availability and local access arrangements.

Limited self-drive parking is available at nearby locations, including Purana Qila (1.6 km), Zoo Parking (3 km), and JLN Stadium (4.8 km), with shuttle services operating from these points to Gate No. 4 of Bharat Mandapam. Intermittent traffic restrictions are expected in and around the ITPO area.

First-come, first-served seating for an AI summit? Feels a bit outdated for a tech event. Should have a proper digital check-in system. Otherwise, the arrangements seem thorough.

Bharat Mandapam is a world-class venue. Proud to see India hosting such summits. The traffic restrictions are necessary, but I hope they don't cause too much disruption for regular commuters in Pragati Maidan.

Attending as a delegate. The advisory is clear, but arriving by 7:30 AM is very early! The golf cart facility is a nice detail for getting around the large complex.

Hope the focus remains on substantive AI discussions and partnerships, not just the logistics. India has a huge role to play in ethical AI development. Jai Hind!

Security is paramount, so these guidelines make sense. Shuttle from Purana Qila is smart—solves the parking headache. Hope the food court has good options! 😊
