+#### Before you apply, we have some expectations
+
+In return for financial assistance, we do ask that you perform some duties
while at the event, including but not limited to :-
+
+1. Being available before the event starts to help with Setup of Signage,
Banners, Registration Desk and more.
+2. Staffing the registration booth - TAC recipients will take it in turns to
ensure full coverage throughout the event.
+3. opening/closing talk sessions for other Speakers - This could include
introducing speakers, counting the room, passing the microphone.
+4. Being available after the event finishes to assist with Teardown - packing
away signage, reg desk and more.
+
+We therefore aim to get people in at least the day before the event and to
leave the day after the event completes.
+But do not worry! You will still have plenty of time to attend talks that
interest you, get to see the sights of the hosting city, and meet people from
your
+projects and other folks you have been communicating with.
+
+**Also note** that participants we support must themselves obtain Travel
Insurance (including Medical coverage for those traveling overseas).
