With the gathering approaching tickets are starting to sell increasingly
quickly - if you are planning to come it would be helpful if you could
book soon - to help us get an idea of numbers and arrange sufficient
infrastructure.  It will also secure your place as there are limited
tickets.

We have some fliers that can be printed or shared on social media
available for download.  Also an A4 poster.  All available to download
from https://datengarten.allmende.io/s/PpyNgdqLRSF2mcY
