SABR / S4-BR
An itinerary that respects your plans.
Share attendance days, hotel, group size, first appointment’s building, meetings, dining preferences and return. SABR can help using these dated sources.
Work backwards: appointment time, walking and security, loading and waiting, road travel and an agreed buffer. Check the next appointment and return too. Validate times and access; event closing does not mean everyone is ready outside.

Before you book.
Is this the official IAAPA guide?
No. SABERLANE is an independent private transportation provider. Register with IAAPA; book rooms and tables directly with their providers.
Which OCCC building should I select?
Use the building and room on your specific session or exhibitor listing. North/South and West have different addresses. Confirm the permitted pickup entrance with your transportation coordinator.
How should I organize my Expo week?
Use Connect+ and the official floor plan to select sessions, exhibitor meetings and networking. Check the building, room, ticket and time for each activity.
Are car seats available?
Car seats and boosters are complimentary within the current vehicle policy. Request the needed types when booking; availability, passenger/luggage load and safe seating must be confirmed.
Does transportation include IAAPA Celebrates tickets?
No. Event admission is separate. Check Expo registration, additional tickets, age restrictions and any organizer-provided transportation on the official event listing.
Can SABR confirm vehicles, rooms or a table?
SABR offers planning guidance from dated sources. It cannot check live inventory or make a reservation. A draft or quote does not confirm service; complete the official booking flow and obtain written confirmation.
