Hi, I applied for travel support for EA Global, London. I have to acquire visa ASAP and for that, I need to apply for it ASAP. However, I know that I won't be able to travel if my fights and accomodation is not paid for. And I haven't heard back from EA Global team about my travel suppport application status (it was separate this time instead of being part of the main application, right?). Should I apply for the visa right away assuming I would be provided travel support, or should I still wait to hear from EA Global team?

Hey Bhart! I'm Frances, I work on the EA Global team.  It looks like this was resolved over email! Our team aims to process travel support requests within 10 working days of submission. In general, we ask that attendees do not assume their travel support will be approved when making plans. We're budget-constrained and unable to fund all those who request support, unfortunately. We also cannot reimburse any incurred costs, should travel support not be approved. Please do feel free to email hello@eaglobal.org at any time if you're confused or have questions, we'll be very happy to help!

Hi! The FAQ mentions this:


> We also have a conference-specific Slack for each event which includes a channel for coordinating accommodation with other attendees.

How do I get access to this Slack?

Hi Simon! Each Slack is only open to registered attendees. To gain access, you'll need to first register for the event, after your application is approved. You'll then be automatically added.
