What is a local hub?

A local hub is an in-person, hybrid, or remote event linked to the virtual Book Dash event, taking place in the week of 13-17 November 2023. 

What is required to host a local hub?

Local hub hosts are encouraged to organise events for 1-2 days maximum, particularly for in-person events.

You would need approval from your host organisation to host the local hub, a venue for the local attendees to work together and some helpers who can help with the local logistics. You are also encouraged to look for

The Turing Way team will help provide support for planning (templates, consulting, social media announcements), budget for catering during the event and limited expenses related to local travel and accommodation to the hub for participants based outside the city if needed (subjected to pre-approval). Please contact The Turing Way team about the support possibilities.
