    Questions

    What does membership cost, and has it changed?

    Alumni stays £300 + VAT for the year, no increase. Elite is £500 + VAT on top, and the AI Collaborative is £1,000 + VAT.

    What if I can't make every session?

    Nothing is compulsory. Sessions are recorded for members, and the newsletter, The Grapevine and the WhatsApp community mean you can dip in around your diary. I'm also improving timing and reminders this year.

    Do I have to be an Alumni member to join Elite or the AI Collaborative?

    Yes, both sit on top of Alumni membership and are exclusive to members. That's what makes the group so valuable.

    How do I confirm I'm staying?

    Just message me on WhatsApp by Wednesday 16 September. I'll send your invoice, with payment due by Friday 25 September.
