I really liked this initiative and Iโ€™ll definitely make a LinkedIn post to help spread the word.
Last time I shared something similar, it reached over 70k views, so I believe we can make this one go even further.

Hello, I hope you're doing well. I recently completed the last festival, but I havenโ€™t received any email regarding my voucher. Could you please let me know where I can redeem it?

 Last festival I miss this voucher because I forgot to complete "2.SQL Analytics on Databricks" for data analyst path (but I already completed self declaration of "1.AI/BI for Data Analysts"). My question is that if I only completed "2.SQL Analytics on Databricks" Will I get the voucher or I need to self decralation of "1.AI/BI for Data Analysts" again?

You will qualify as long as you complete the second module within the specified dates (October 10 - 31). To clarify, there is no need to 're-complete' the first module. Your completion date will always be captured against the first date of your completion.

Excited for this festival. I attended this years Data + AI. Couldn't do as many certifications as I liked. This is a great opportunity for me to learn

Hi, Iโ€™m interested in starting the Data Engineering learning pathway, which has 4 modules.
If I begin the first modules before October 11 but complete the final module only after October 11 (and before October 31), would I still qualify for the voucher?
In other words, is it fine to start the Learning Pathway before the event dates as long as the completion falls within the specified period?

That's correct, to confirm, so long as you complete the final module within the specified period, you will qualify for the incentive ๐Ÿ™‚

Hey guys.

After completing the event please check EVERY inbox of your e-mail (spam, ads, main, important, trash etc.)

In 2020 i participated in a Virtual Learning with 100% voucher, but the e-mail with the voucher code went to the ads inbox and i didnt look there. I lost my voucher because the time limit exceeded...
