# Applying & participating

[[about|muShanghai]] is gated. The flow:

1. **Apply** via the form at <https://mushanghai.xyz/>.
2. **Wait** ~1 week for [[the-mu|The Mu]]'s team review.
3. **Purchase ticket** upon acceptance — **$149** standard, **$119** early bird.
4. **Join the Co-Creator group chat** ([Telegram](https://t.me/+dngZ49zj9hE1YzM1)) to start planning.

## Co-creation

Participants aren't passive attendees. You can submit your own events via [Luma](https://luma.com/mushanghai) with The Mu as co-host; accepted events go on the official calendar and get promoted. In practice this means the program is partly defined by who shows up and what they bring.

## Costs to budget beyond the ticket

The $149 covers entry / programming. Not covered: flights, lodging, visa, food, and within-Shanghai transport for the month. Hackerhouses are an option mentioned in the program — they likely affect lodging math significantly. To be confirmed once on the ground.
