Here's a suggested checklist for how to get an event/workshop/class.

Important people in this situation:

• You  - the person who came up with the idea and is shepherding it
• Speaker - the person the event is for (if a guest speaker), the class teacher, etc.
• Everyone - the CRASHSpace mailing list(s)

In the case of events where there is no real "speaker", assume that role yourself.

Before the Event: (at least two weeks)

1. Contact Speaker
2. Get the following information from speaker:
1. Preferred event description
2. Speaker bio, with offsite links
3. Fees for speaking or materials
4. event/class size limit
5. Special requirements by the speaker (A/V needs, equipment needs, etc)   
3. Determine Event date
1. Work with speaker and look at event calendar 
2. Maybe ask everyone for a good time if multiple times are good and to gauge interest
3. Talk to "Events and Programming Hub"  wrangles (currently Carlyn) about what else is going on.
4. What kind of event is it - ish (see model , where is it again...)
4. Put Event on blog.crashspace.org Google events calendar
1. Write a blog post.
2. Add it to the Events page
3. Add it to the google calendar if you have access (you can get access if you throw a lot of events) otherwise you have to wait for the P&E Wrangler to do it.
5. Get Pay Pal Button
1. Should have picked a pricing structure w/ P&E Wrangler
2. P&E Wrangler will email you embed code to add to your blog post
6. Double check to make sure your blog post has the following:
1. Event description
2. Speaker bio
3. Fees
4. An image or two to give people an idea what they're getting into
5. Pay Pal Buttons
6. Include links to related interesting things if appropriate (past similar CRASHSpace events, etc.) 
7. Post to CRASHSpace mailing list
1. Include link to blog post
2. Include summary of event description
3. Include link to Eventbrite registration page
8. Promote the event on other sites/lists
1. Ask the speaker for appropriate locations
2. Ask the speaker to help promote

During the Event:

1. Show up to one hour before the event to make sure the space is ready
2. If space is a mess, clean it up a bit
3. Tell the speaker to show up at least 30 minutes before, if possible
4. Help speaker set up any equipment, arrange tables, etc.
5. If a paid event, make sure attendees have paid, if not already paid, can take money at the door

After the Event:

1. Thank the speaker profusely
2. Put the space back in reasonable order
3. Post to CRASHSpace blog and mailing list an event re-cap (a day or two later)
