All, I appreciate that you are all excited to participate, but to reiterate, there is no need to post your email address in this channel and tag me.

As per the post, we're distributing the vouchers after the event has concluded in early November. It will be sent to the email address associated with your Academy account (there is no further action required).

Please refrain from posting this within the comments as it makes it difficult to filter through the hundreds of notifications to find the actual questions, thank you
