# Hello Newbie!
If this is your first Congress, and you're feeling slightly overwhelmed or confused about everything, then this page is for you!
### Save the Date(s)!
We will have three meetings in total which concern the Congress.
During the **International Officers' Evening** on 10th October, we will give the latest logistical updates about the Congress preparations and hold a debate training in the framework of our MEET project to provide internal skills development.

As a lead-up to the Congress, we will host an online event on 25th October (***19:00 - 21:00 CET***), where candidates for the JEF Europe Executive Board will share their visions for the upcoming mandate in more depth as part of a **MEET the Candidates** event. If you consider running for the Executive Board, please mark this date in your calendar especially. In order to be a part of this event, your candidature should be submitted by 22 October (however, there is no general deadline for applications).
