Notes

  • Venues: 80-120 capacity, AV requirements, catering?, wifi. Possible options: A Cloud Guru, Digio, Contino, etc
  • Diversity target of 50% of speakers
  • Better time keeping on the night. Publish agenda with times
  • Sponsoring smaller AWS-related groups either as a child group (via Meetup Pro) or assisting with sponsorship/venue connections
  • Keep the same format, start at 6pm instead of 6:10pm, add in a 10 minute lightning talk reserved for first time speakers or Level 100 talks. Provide speaking mentorship.
  • Check-in app + label printer, or pre-print the meetup.com labels. Require first name for RSVP.
  • Look at the Lanyard app that the AWS UG India guys built. Features for our app should include: Meetup list, agenda for each, RSVP, integration with Meetup.com, Check-in at the venue, venue details/map and most importantly: avenue for feedback (anonymous or otherwise), CoC reporting, etc.
