## Questions people ask before they join

**Can I pay for this myself?**
Yes. Each option is priced for one person and paid by card: a Summit ticket, one Zero to Hero seat, one AI Builder seat once your application is accepted, or an EdgeCore membership.

**Can my company pay instead?**
Yes. A company can buy your seat, or several seats on one order. If you want EdgeTeam working with your whole team, see [the company programs](https://services.edgeteam.io/#programs).

**Do I need to be technical?**
Not for the Summit, Zero to Hero, or EdgeCore. AI Builder asks that you're comfortable in a terminal or a no-code automation tool, and that you bring a project.

**Where should I start?**
New to AI at work: Zero to Hero. Already building: AI Builder. Want a room of people building with AI every week: EdgeCore. Want to see it all first: AI Edge Summit on October 29.
