Hello @AndreaCalderonLF could you kindly provide a functional link we can use to verify the information as the current link appears to be broken. Thank you.

[AndreaCalderonLF]

Hi @riahtgl, which link do you need? Here is the faq link which should have most of the information: https://graphql.org/conf/2024/faq/ Let me know if there is another link you would like me to send. Thanks!

[AndreaCalderonLF]

Hi @riahtgl, which link do you need? Here is the faq link which should have most of the information: https://graphql.org/conf/2024/faq/ Let me know if there is another link you would like me to send. Thanks!

[riahtgl]

@AndreaCalderonLF I need the link to the event website, where I can see the code of conduct and other information provided in your application. All the links shared in this issue including the faq link you just sent says "couldn't connect to the server" or "site can't be reached" could you kindly confirm if the links are accessible from your end?

[AndreaCalderonLF]

@riahtgl These links are working on my end. Linking the general website, let me know if this works for you. https://graphql.org/conf/2024/

[adeyinkaoresanya]

Hi @AndreaCalderonLF . The website is still not opening for me too. Please, could you clear your browser cache and try to open it from your end again?

[AndreaCalderonLF]

@adeyinkaoresanya Can you try https://graphql.org/conf. I'm not sure why this isn't loading on your end. I've had our team check the links as well and they have not ran into any issues either.

[adeyinkaoresanya]

@AndreaCalderonLF is it possible that the website excluded some regions from being able to access it? Five people (from the same region Africa) have tried to open it to no avail but someone from the US was able to. Kindly look into this.

Hey @AndreaCalderonLF , your badge is ready! Finally! 😄

Most of our reviewers couldn't open the event website and the two who finally did had to use a VPN. We were wondering if the website excluded some regions. Please consider this for future events.

Have a great event!

@adeyinkaoresanya Thank you for flagging this and many apologies to everyone who experienced difficulties!!
