The Venue by E11 is in the Lansing Mall, but it does have its own entrance and is the only way to get into the venue for this event. The best place to park will be in the northwest part of the Lansing Mall parking lot. To get to the northwest parking lot, please go north on Mall Dr W off of Saginaw and then take a right into the parking lot once you pass the first entrance. The above map shows where the parking lot is for the venue (Black X). The mall will close before our event is over. If you do park in a different lot, you will have a harder time getting to your car after the event.
