## Specific advice for tutorials

211-
Please note that tutorials are intended to be a hands-on experience for the attendees, rather than a
212-
long talk. This means that a substantial component of the workshop should involve exercises that
213-
your participants can complete on their own machines at their own pace. In the case you intend to do
214-
live coding, this should be either done slowly enough that attendees can follow along, or be able to
215-
be replicated in a later exercise.
216-
217-
Please keep in mind that if attendees need to download materials for your tutorial, it is better to
218-
give them a heads up at least a couple of days prior. Bandwidth will be limited, and many public
219-
resources have some kind of rate limiting set up.

on their computer: Ask the participants to prepare the setup for your tutorial in advance.

Ensure that your tutorial description on the europython web site includes setup up instructions.

(Contact the Programme Committee if you need help with that.) Bandwidth at the tutorials will be limited.

It can cause long delays if all tutorial participants have to download files at the same time at the beginning
221+
of the tutorial.
