Approval gate

• You are an active Campus Rep in good standing. • The venue is a real campus or institution-approved space with capacity, sanitation, power, and safe access. • An institution or venue contact can independently confirm permission. • At least three organizers cover operations and safety, participant experience and check-in, and projects and submissions. • The proposed event follows the standard one-day format or explains the requested exception. • No organizer is competing, judging, or selling to the event without a disclosed and approved conflict.

b54 normally responds within two business days. Approval creates the event workspace. A lower meal participant limit may be set for a first event, an untested venue, incomplete evidence, or elevated financial risk. Do not announce b54 support, sign a vendor, promise prizes, or spend against b54 until the application and the relevant budget are approved in the platform.
