Here are some suggested guidelines for hosting an event at Noisebridge. If it's an hour or two long workshop with a dozen or so participants, just hold it. If it's bigger, such as an unconference or a full day of presentations or you expect a lot of new people to show up, please note the following:

  • It's recommended that you have a Noisebridge member or several as part of your planning committee to see that you avoid common pitfalls when working with our organization
  • publicize the event via the mailing list and the wiki, with enough lead time that the community can respond and give feedback
  • be aware of the existing ongoing events and try to work around them
  • show up for a while before finalizing your planning and get to know some of the denizens
  • have a plan for setting up the space
  • have a plan for cleaning up after yourself (and follow it)
  • consider a monetary donation to Noisebridge
  • take into account any policies or issues regarding alcohol, charging, etc.
