This guide will help you organize and run a straightforward, single-session meetup with minimal hassle.
1. Planning Content (2-3 Weeks Before the Event)
🎯 Define the Purpose of the Meetup:
- Clarify what the meetup is about (e.g., specific topic, networking).
- Define key takeaways for attendees (e.g., knowledge sharing, skill-building).
📋 Create a Simple Agenda:
- Introduction (5 minutes).
- Main talk or activity (30-45 minutes).
- Q&A or discussion (15 minutes).
- Wrap-up (5 minutes).
📑 Prepare Presentation Materials:
- Create a slide deck or any visuals you’ll need (keep it simple and concise).
- Print handouts or reference materials if necessary.
2. Secure a Location and Equipment (2 Weeks Before the Event)
📍 Choose a Suitable Venue:
- Select a venue that is accessible and cost-effective (e.g., community hall, co-working space, or a local café with a private area).
- Ensure the space is large enough for your estimated audience (10-30 people for a small meetup).
