How many people can be in a team?

Teams should have 3 to 5 members. The team lead registers the full team after team formation.

Where do I register as an individual participant?

Individual participants RSVP on the official GDG Tashkent event page. This website handles event-day team registration after participants arrive and form teams.

Does only the team lead need to register?

For event-day team registration, yes: only the team lead submits the team form. The form still collects every teammate’s name, email, Telegram, and role so organizers have complete participant records.

I do not have a team. Can I join?

Yes. Come to the team formation session on Day 1. Organizers and mentors will help participants find teams around shared interests.
