[ Questions ]
The questions we get asked.
Do I need to be a member to come?
It depends on the event. Most are open to everyone, but a few highlights, such as kick-offs and end-of-year gatherings, are invitation only. The federation's hackathons are reserved for chapters, and Genius members keep priority across every event in the network.
Is there a fee?
Many events are free. Some formats may be paid, particularly for students who are not members of the network.
My school has no chapter. Can I take part?
Yes, if your school is part of the network through Genius Labs. Without a chapter or Labs, access is possible but limited: only a handful of open events welcome student founders from outside the network, most of the programme being reserved for members and chapters.
How do I find out what's happening near me?
The calendar filters by chapter and by format. Each chapter also publishes its own dates on its page.
Can I propose an event?
Yes. Any chapter can put a format to the board, which unlocks the budget, the logistics and the introductions to partners.
Want to bring your campus in?
We open six to ten chapters a year. The application takes twenty minutes.
