FAQs

Are the events recorded?

Most events are recorded, and a copy of the recording (and slides) will be sent to you a day or so after the event (check the spam folder, just in case). 

We send the recording and slides to all ticket-holders, even if you don’t attend the session in real time. 

That way, if you’re in a time-zone that makes it hard to attend in real-time, you’ll still have a chance to learn. Simply grab your ticket, and look out for the recording a day or so after the event 

Where will the workshops take place?

The event I am interested in is sold out. What should I do?
