Welcoming Floor

The first floor of our venue is the Welcoming Floor, where your RightsCon journey begins. Start by picking up your badge at the Registration Booth. (Alternatively, you can pick up your badge before the event. For more information, click here.) Right across from the Registration Booth, you’ll find our first-ever Media Lounge, a dedicated space for media covering the summit.

As you proceed down the north hallway, you’ll come across four programming rooms: 101A, 101B, 101C, and 101D. Continuing along the west hallway, you’ll find two additional programming rooms: 102 and 103. On this floor, you’ll also find a Prayer Room, our Info Desk, along with four restrooms and four elevators. Returning to the main entrance, you’ll see eight escalators that lead to Floor 2.

Please note that Floor 1 will be the only dedicated space for photos and videos. It offers plenty of opportunities to capture the perfect selfie or group photo!

Quiet Floor

We recognize that RightsCon can feel busy and overwhelming at times – and that’s part of the energy! For 2025, we’re introducing a Quiet Floor, designed as a space where you can focus, relax, or connect privately with fellow participants. The south hallway features a Quiet Area, offering a calm and silent space to recharge. Meanwhile, the north hallway houses our Bilateral Pods, perfect for private conversations and one-on-one connections.

This floor also includes Room 401, the only room entirely dedicated to programming, as well as Rooms 402A and 402B, the Elegance Lounge and Joy Lounge, which will alternate between programming and dining space depending on the time of day. Additionally, Floor 4 is equipped with a Lactation Room and a Medical Room.
