This event seems slightly more relevant, now that there is new Big Iron in the room. What do you think it would take to get AlphaZero to participate in the 2018 WCCC, given the format change? Has the qualifying tournament obtained a venue and schedule yet?

It is natural that AlphaZero enters the unlimited hardware tournament (the software only tournament probably won't be possible). There is also no funding problem for Tyrel... errr... google corporation.
