Hi, i'm a student at University of Barishal and really interested in the Applied AI / Gemini track. Questions on accessibility for those of us outside Dhaka:

  • Is there any hybrid/remote option for the workshop sessions or is it in-person only?

  • Since it's a 2-day event, is there any support (accommodation/travel) for participants coming from other divisions like Barisal?

  • When does registration officially open? right now it shows as closed, knowing the date in advance would help those of us who need to arrange travel.

would love to attend and represent Barisal. Thanks!
