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

+If attendees need to download materials for your tutorial and/or need to set up a special environment
+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
+of the tutorial.

 Programme Committee (programme@europython.eu) ahead of the conference, as we’ll need to give them
