Where to start
These guides exist because most pages covering this event repeat the same three paragraphs of promotional copy. Each one here takes a single question and answers it properly, including the parts that do not help anyone sell tickets.
If you are deciding whether to attend, start with what free admission actually covers, which sets out what is included, what is not, and why an event with two well-known hosts costs nothing at the door.
If you have already decided, go to the registration walkthrough. It takes about two minutes and the only thing that commonly goes wrong is email deliverability, which that page covers in full.
If you are researching the hosts, the pairing guide explains why the combination is unusual, and the individual breakdowns for Iman and Russell cover what each teaches.
If you are sceptical, and you should be at least a little, read what Reddit says and how the affiliate program works. The second one explains why so many sites are recommending the same free event at the same time, including this one.
How these are written
Every guide states a direct answer at the top, in a paragraph short enough to stand on its own, then works through the detail underneath. Where a claim is disputed, both sides are given. Where a number is reported rather than confirmed, it is described that way.
This site earns affiliate commission if you register or buy through its links, which is stated plainly on the disclaimer page. Read the recommendations here with that in mind, the same way you should read every other page covering this launch.
Your seat is free. The only thing it costs is showing up.
