What should I bring?

• Lunch, water and snacks! Note here will be no fridge or kitchen facilities available on the day.
• Laptop, charger, powerbank, pen, paper, fidget toys. Whatever makes you comfortable and prepared! If you’re doing the technical skills workshop, we advise you to download QLab before the day.

What should I wear?

• There is no dress code, but as some of the workshops might have more physical elements, whatever feels comfortable to spend the whole day in. It’s Melbourne, it’s July, so some extra layers, even in the belly of the Arts Centre, is advised!
