Hosting an Event

From Noisebridge
Jump to navigation Jump to search

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
