#include C++ & ACCU2019 Nov Diversity Scholarship
PLEASE DON'T DONATE TO THIS ONE - IT IS CLOSED NOW - THANK YOU VERY MUCH
#include <C++> have some supported entry tickets for the ACCU Autumn 2019 conference, kindly provided by the organisers Archer Yates Associates Ltd, to enable some more diverse candidates to attend with the help of your donations.
This campaign is to help cover the costs associated with attending the conference itself, a place at the speakers' dinner (for a chance to meet with some of the movers and shakers in the industry) to kick start the candidates introduction into the community, subscription to the ACCU as well as potentially covering hotel and transport costs that will be necessary to get the candidates to the conference.
Applications are open to fill the places, please apply here.
The applications will be treated as confidential and go to a small selection committee within #include<C++> and they will choose the delegates that will attend.
Please be assured that we will pick candidates from under represented groups within the industry.
Applications will close 2019-09-28T00:00Z in order to give time to make arrangements for the successful candidates, but the fundraiser will remain open.
Earlier in the year we ran another gofundme campaign for the ACCU Spring 2019 conference, we were able to send three people along to the ACCU conference, along with the money raised from sales from table merchandise and an impromptu auction for a bespoke #include teddy bear, we had a surplus balance of £106.75. This will be rolled into this pot for the ACCU Autumn 2019, but it won't go through the go fund me as we will only be spending money on their fees. Should there be any surplus from this campaign it will be rolled over into doing the same again at a future UK conference.
