								</ul>
								<p>You can also check out <a href="https://openedx2019.sched.com/">the Open edX Conference 2019 schedule</a> from last year, to get a rough idea about topics and Conference structure. </p>

								<h3>What is the add-on training?</h3>
								<p>This is the first year we are offering edX-led "Open edX Course Authoring Training" on Tuesday
								as an add-on to the full conference pass.
								<b>Note:</b> To attend this training, you will need to purchase a ticket for the add-on as well as a Conference ticket. Add-on tickets are not sold without a Conference ticket.</p>

								<h3>I have never been to an Open edX Conference, will it be useful for me?</h3>
								<p>New participants are very welcome. You can watch <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ho8OBnvruRw&list=PL87xhvJSz2W4loIXUtRqv8VBZ0HZKMU59">recorded presentations</a> from the 2019 Open edX Conference to see if this format and content suit your needs.</p>

								<h3>I have dietary restrictions, can you accommodate them?</h3>
								<p>We have dairy free, gluten free, vegan and options at all food events. If you have restrictions beyond these please
								include them on the Registration form and we will do our best to accommodate them.</p>

								<h3>Will there be WiFi?</h3>
								<p>Free WiFi will be available at the conference site. Access information will be printed in the program that you will get when you
								check in at Registration.</p>

								<h3>What about transportation during Conference?</h3>
								<p>All Conference events will be held at the Nova SBE campus which is fully accessible, and the reception will be at a
								restaurant that is a 10-minute walk from campus. If you have a mobility issue that prevents the walk, please include
								this on your Registration form and we will arrange transportation.</p>
								<p><b>Note:</b> You will need to provide your own
								transportation from your accommodation to the Conference site and back. There are public transportation options and Uber
								is widely used in Lisbon.  We will post transportation options on our website in the coming weeks.</p>

								<h3>Any accommodation tips?</h3>
								<p>Please secure your own accommodation.  While there is no particular Conference hotel this year, we recommend the
								following:</p>
								<ul style="color:black">
								<li><a href="https://all.accor.com/hotel/1319/index.en.shtml">Sofitel Lisbon Liberdade</a></li>
								<li><a href="https://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/lissi-sheraton-lisboa-hotel-and-spa/">Sheraton Lisboa Hotel and Spa</a></li>
								</ul>
								<p><b>Note:</b> May is high tourist season in Portugal — hotel rooms will get booked quickly.  Please make reservations
								soon to assure your accommodations.</p>

								<h3>Do I need a visa to go to Portugal?</h3>
								<p>You might, depending on your country of citizenship. Citizens of certain countries require a visa to enter Portugal. Please contact your local Portuguese consulate for guidance on all current and applicable visa requirements.
								<p><b>Note:</b> Visa processing times vary and may be long. Please start your visa process soon.</p>

								<h3>Will you provide visa support for me?</h3>
								<p>You will need to take care of your own visa application. However, we are happy to provide you with a letter of
								invitation in support of your visa application. Please contact <a href="mailto:openedx2020@edx.org">openedx2020@edx.org</a> to request one.</p>

								<h3>What else should I know?</h3>
								<p>edX seeks to foster an open and welcoming environment in this event. All participants are expected to follow <a href="https://open.edx.org/code-of-conduct/">Open edX Code of Conduct</a>.</p>
