Location & Parking

To unlock your complimentary parking in the Rivers Street Deck, click HERE and complete the following steps. (It is very important to do this the morning of the conference, not before.)

Adjust your “Arrive After” and “Leave By” times. (This is at the top of the page.)

On a computer, select “Filters & Access Codes” at the top. (On a mobile device, click the icon in the middle of the screen to the right with three horizontal lines and slashes.)

At the bottom of the menu enter WAI26 in the “Access Code” box and tap “Apply”.  (This will be ALL the way at the bottom of the menu. This code is case-sensitive.)

On a computer, select the green “Reserve” button by the lot you would like to reserve. (On a mobile device, click “List” first on the top right. You are looking for the Rivers Street Lot.)

From here please continue as a guest, or log in if you already have an account.  If you continue as a guest, enter your email address and then enter your vehicle information.  Be sure your plate information is entered correctly to avoid citations.  From here, complete the registration process, and you will receive a confirmation email.
