How to Organize a Meet-up

Post by Grace »

Hi everyone,

To make this (hopefully) super clear, you set the agenda and find like-minded folks who are interested in your topic, as follows.
  • 1. Post a new topic (start a new thread) with your Meet Up idea in the subject line.
Examples:
Geographic: Calling Colorado Folks; Chicagoans - Let's Connect!
Educational: Identifying Critical Biomarkers
Topical: How Are You Living the Protocol?
Supportive: Any Other Caregivers?
Social: Let's Chat!
Anything else you can think of!: Great Books on Alzheimer's (for example)
  • 2. Wait until you have enough responses to hold your meet-up (this is for you to assess). Announce a designated time using various time zones for clarity
  • 3. Contact Grace privately and request directions for how to use Zoom to hold a meet-up. You will need to share a link to the meet-up room with others via email or post it on the thread (but note, this means that anyone who views the link can click it and join the meeting.)
  • 4. Hold your meet-up! :D
  • 5. If appropriate and agreed-upon by all participants, you can share a report-back about how it went.
Let me know if there are any questions or concerns. Since this is new functionality and a new process, there will doubtless be kinks to iron out along the way. We will learn together!
