In-person group programming sessions and events are fun!

|
|
## This Wiki will help you with organizing a successful Local Group event.
|
|
|
|
With a little planning and communication, having a successful Local Group event can be easy! Here are some steps to help you in doing this:
|
|
|
|
* Determine the topic for the event (code and coffee, hack session, invite campers to another organization's event).
|
|
|
|
* Find a suitable location. Local Group events should always take place in a public space (library, cafe, hackerspace).
|
|
|
|
* Create an event on your Local Group's Facebook page for the event, and link to it on your Local Group Facebook Group page.
|
|
|
|
* Follow-up with reminder posts for the event 1 week prior to the event and then again the day before the event.
|
|
|
|
* On the day of the event, arrive early, get set up, greet members, and kick the event off. Don't forget to thank everyone afterwards and extend invites for future meetups.

**Try to take some pictures and post them on your Local Group's Facebook group page.** |
