Tips for successfully registering a Self-Organised workshop
Use the Self-Organised workshop submission form to register your workshop: AMY: Submit a Self-Organised workshop (carpentries.org)
Submit your form four weeks before the workshop start date. This will give the Workshop Administration Team time to receive and enter it into The Carpentries database, follow up if needed, and schedule the workshop pre-survey result links to go out
Ensure the workshop slug is in The Carpentries format: YYYY-MM-DD-organisation-online or YYYY-MM-DD-organisation
Add the workshop location, including the latitude and longitude
