Workflow

All meetups should use the following workflow:

• Assign responsible Core Team member
• Confirm location
• Recruit speaker(s) or develop 30-45 minutes of content
• Draft meetup title and description
• Post and announce on meetup.com one week in advance
• Market and promote event via email blasts (monthly), social media, announcements at other meetups, personalized outreach to stakeholders, etc.
• Create slide deck to structure meetup experience
• Set up space 30 minutes prior to event (and recruit help if necessary)

Congratulations, you've just facilitated an epic end-to-end meetup experience for our awesome community!

Rules of Thumb

• Beginning in 2016, we meet every Wednesday, 7p.m. at The Urban Hive by default
• Always welcome first-timers and go out of your way to make them feel part of the community
• We always need help organizing meetups, so please assign yourself liberally (if we share the workload, you should not have to manage more than one meetup per month)
• Please keep the meetup status regularly updated by checking off tasks (Hint: you can check the boxes in the Meetup Template) and using comments to share information and/or ask questions
