Hi Marc-Andre,

Thanks for the information!

I looked at the guidelines, and I see that "Events" have to have at 
least 100 attendees or "have a significant impact and reach out to 
larger regions". Since most of our bootcamps are for audiences of 25-80 
they don't qualify, but we do run bigger bootcamps, including one for 
160 learners alongside PyCon Montreal. I will make sure they get into 
your calendar!

Thanks,
Amy
