<H3>FAQ's</H3>
<UL>
<LI>Can I come ready as a team? Can I participate as an individual? I don't have a team, but still wish to come along, can I do so?</LI>
</UL>
We recommend that you work as a team. We have found the most successful team size is between 3 to 4, but teams can be more or less. If you don’t have a team then we’ll help you to form one at the info session or on the opening evening.
<UL>
<LI>When is the info session? </LI>
</UL>
The Info Session will take place on 23 February at the Centre for Social Innovation located on 192 Spadina Ave. Register here: http://unearthed.link/UETOR_IS 
<UL>
<LI>I won’t be able to make it for the full weekend, can I still come? </LI>
</UL>
If you are unable to make one of the days/nights, that’s OK. Just let us know or let your team members know beforehand. If you haven’t formed a team yet and cannot make the Friday night, drop us an email and we’ll try to put you in a team so that you’re ready on Saturday.
<UL>
<LI>What is the cost? What does it involve?</LI>

Developer tickets are for the full weekend. This includes breakfast, lunch, dinner, coffees and drinks all weekend! It also includes industry mentoring and tech startup experts.
