On the morning of March 15, 44BC Caesar woke to find his wife Calpurnia in a near panic. She was concerned about what would happen to Caesar that day. There was one last meeting between Caesar and the Senate before he left for the Parthia just 3 days later. He certainly wanted to attend the session but his wife's concern seems to have an impact. Meanwhile, the Senate was gathering at Pompey's theatre, likely to grant Caesar the title of king of all Roman territory outside of Italy. The conspirators plan was rather simple, they snuck in daggers, some in boxes intended for documents, others concealed in flowing folds of their toga. As time passed in the morning hours, it soon became evident that Caesar might not show at all. When word was delivered the conspirators were likely to panic. This would simply be the only time the plot could take place and Caesar had to come to the meeting.
