APPLICANTS
Interesting parties should apply to tim.henshall@tzhc.uk by Monday 20th July at 11am.
We want to increase everyone's chance of participating so we plan to share around the opportunities.
The names of all interested parties will be entered into a pot, with one entry (maximum 3) for the number of venues they wish to attend.
Nine company names will be drawn to participate in Bristol. The next nine names drawn will be for London and the final nine for Dublin.
​
Each time a company is successfully drawn out for a venue, this automatically reduces their chance of being drawn for the next venue.
If a company is drawn out for a venue they do not wish to attend, they will automatically be selected for the next venue to be drawn.
​
Once the initial 27 names have been drawn, any company a further 2 names per venue will be drawn as reserves in case of cancellation by a participant.
