To help attendees enjoy the event more freely, AFAID25 provides a convenient bag drop service at Lobby A. Visitors can store their belongings and explore the venue comfortably.

For everyone’s safety, the organizers have set specific event rules, including restrictions on outside food and drinks, replica weapons, drones, laser pointers, large bags (A4 size limit in concert areas), and selfie sticks. Compliance with these guidelines is essential to maintain a safe and enjoyable atmosphere.
