📣 We've released 5 extra tickets for the Gathering!

We (briefly) sold out earlier today, so we looked into our reserves and had some spare tickets put aside for extra volunteers which we don't need, so now there are a few more general admission tickets available.

🎟️ We have less than 10 tickets left for the in-person event so remember to get your ticket if you haven't already!

Tickets for attending in-person will close in one week, on Monday 7th July, a few days ahead of the Gathering so we can handle the admin for attendees.
