🚨 SHPE National Convention: ACTION NEEDED TONIGHT 🚨 is a SHPE officer and invited us to come to the SHPE National Convention with them! Companies include Microsoft, Datadog, Abbott, SpaceX, Lockheed Martin, HP, Lenovo, Eli Lilly, Apple and more. SHPE has done on-site interviews before, so this is a real shot at landing a job or internship. 🗺️ Floor plan (all companies): https://rocexhibitions.expocad.com/Events/26shpee/index.html 💰 Price - $470 with SHPE membership / $860 without - 👉 Sign up for SHPE National membership ($5) first, *then* register to get the member price 🔗 Registration: https://web.cvent.com/event/432b07e5-d865-4514-aa53-5377ab9c37c5/summary ✅ To get reimbursed, do ALL of this by END OF DAY TODAY Gianluca submits the student travel request tomorrow morning and can't add anyone after that. 1️⃣ Fill out the interest form: https://forms.gle/c7uXVWeb5Dnn54gDA 2️⃣ Buy your SHPE membership + convention ticket tonight 3️⃣ Pass the Student Travel Course and screenshot your passing result: https://canvas.fau.edu/enroll/8NDTMY 4️⃣ DM for the Code of Conduct form and e-sign it 5️⃣ DM (not in this channel!) your Z-number, mailing address, ticket confirmation screenshot, and travel course screenshot 💬 Convention group chat: https://chat.whatsapp.com/I0WWq5bUDVLBKKSa4kDw8J ⚠️ Please read - Reimbursement is likely but not guaranteed. It covers the convention registration. Flights aren't confirmed yet (still asking the College of Engineering). - After the event you'll need to show proof you went (photo wearing your badge + registration). If you register and don't go, you'll probably lose the money. - You can still go if you miss tonight, but reimbursement probably won't be possible.

ShellHacks Reminder 🐚💻 For everyone who signed up, some key notes before we head out: 🛏️ Bring a sleeping bag. We might be sleeping in classrooms 😭 🪥 Bring your toiletries: toothbrush, toothpaste, deodorant, towel, all of it. Please, for the sake of your teammates 🙏 If you don't have a sleeping bag and can't get one, DM me. I can buy one for someone who really needs it, no questions asked. 📅 Schedule: Check out all the workshops, talks and events so you can plan your weekend: https://shellhacks.net/events 📖 Hacker Guide: Everything else you need to know (check-in, rules, what to bring): https://shellhacks.net/guide Give both a read before we go!
