Event Planning

Steps to consider in organising a meetup, a webinar or a training event

Plan the event

What are the dates/times?
Where is the venue and what are the facilities?
Who is the intended audience?
What is the goal or theme of the activity?
Who is available to attend, facilitate, train and participate in the activity?
What kind of budget will be required for travel, venue, catering, coordinator, advertising?
Which Wiki or project is the focus: Wikipedia, Wikidata, Commons, Wikisource - or a geographical/subject?

Set the event up online

Create the title of the activity
Create a description of the event
Create a registration page and not the link
- If the target audience consists of experienced Wikimedians only, then create a page in an appropriate Meetup or WikiProject space
- If you are looking to attract new or inexperienced people, request an Eventbrite registration form
Create a dashboard for the event as part of Wikimedia Australia campaign https://outreachdashboard.wmflabs.org/campaigns/wikimedia_australia_201920/overview
