how to get access to notebooks, what is being shown in sessions?

Had the same question and @Jim_Anderson answerd as the highlighted one - "We don't provide access to the notebooks. If you'd like hands on experience with the labs, please leverage the 20% discount on a Databricks Academy labs Annual subscription that will be provided to participants in early November"

Hi, I am eager to participate in this Learning Festival and would like to confirm my participation for the certification voucher incentive. I have clicked 'Yes' for 'Will you be attending' on this event page. Is this click considered the official registration needed for eligibility?

Also, once I complete one of the stated courses on Databricks Academy, what is the next step to receive the voucher? Do we need to send a separate email notification, or is the voucher automatically sent to the email associated with our Databricks Academy account? Please advise. Thank you!

 

Can anyone please advise on this?

I’ve already watched the video and used the coupon code for the July festival. If I want to retake the class, can I still get the coupon for the October Databricks festival?
