If your talk is accepted and you don't have a ticket, we will provide a booking code to purchase one (even if the event is currently sold out). However, since running workshops require a major time investment with prep, setup, equipment, and running them over the weekend, workshop presenters get free admission to the camp. If you've already purchased a ticket we are happy to offer a refund upon request.

			'''I will be flying in so it will be difficult for me to bring food, what are my food options?'''

			Don't worry, you will not go hungry at ToorCamp as there are food options all around camp. Doe Bay has a store and cafe onsite where you can purchase food. The [https://doebay.com/cafe cafe] is a full restaurant and the store offers grab-and-go items. Milliways is one of the villages and they offer a coin in exchange for enjoying their food and beverages during camp. Your coin purchase allows you to eat with them during the entire event. As far as bringing/cooking food yourself, you can get groceries from the store in town and Doe Bay has a nice [[Doe_Bay#Guest_Kitchen\|guest kitchen]] that is available for everyone to use that includes fridge, stove, etc. Oh and there's also the taco drone!
