Hi @ElizabethN, the registration of this event is free, so I'd be checking all the boxes that are related to Diversity Access Ticket. Additionally, I think it might be good to have a metric that considers events that are completely free of charge.

[Busayo-ojo]

@mrsjent Have an amazing event! @ElizabethN I'm done with my review.

[ElizabethN]

Additionally, I think it might be good to have a metric that considers events that are completely free of charge.

@Busayo-ojo I love this idea of thinking about ticket prices. Let's bring it up at the next DEI meeting! If you're not able to attend I'm happy to bring it up on your behalf. :heart:

[Busayo-ojo]

I'd try to join the next meeting but if I do not, pls feel free to bring it up ❤️

[ElizabethN]

@the-techgurl just wanted to make sure you saw this ping. Thank you!

[the-techgurl]

Hi, @ElizabethN I'm sorry it took time to get to this, I'm done with my review Just like @Busayo-ojo mentioned I also ticked off the boxes relating to diversity since registration is free.
