3. Get a mass message sent
Notify Notify the GrommOff or Feabie Meet account when your event is posted and details have been finalized, so that a mass-message can be sent on your behalf to notify locals of the upcoming gathering.
4. Answer all relevant questions
If If someone poses a relevant question to you before the gathering via message or the event listing, you must respond, even if just to say “I don’t know, but I’ll find out”. If those users come to the Grokio Team because you’re not responding, we won’t be happy.
5. Attend the event
The The gathering organizer(s) must attend the entire event. If an urgent matter comes up at the last minute, you must assign someone else to cover the event and notify the Grokio Team immediately. Cancellation within a week of the gathering is not allowed.
6. Introduce yourself to EVERYONE
As As the organizer, you have a special responsibility to meet everyone. Now is not the time to be shy. If someone new shows up, throw out a hand and introduce yourself. If you can’t muster the courage to do it, it’s likely no one else will. Don’t just say hi, ask some questions and give them a chance to engage in conversation. You must be a role model of friendliness, especially to new attendees.
7. Don’t reinforce cliques
: It’s easy to fall into routines, for example sitting with your friends and people you already know. Organizers must break this habit. As an organizer, it’s your responsibility to make sure attendees don’t feel left out. And while you cannot control others’ habits or actions, you can (and must) be a role model and an ambassador to all attendees. If you want to hang out with a small group of your friends, plan something private another time.
8. Address bad behavior
As the organizer, it’s your responsibility to address bad behavior on the part of attendees to make sure everyone feels safe. That means taking reports from attendees seriously and following up with the involved parties to gather information and make a determination on what actions (if any) to take. If you need help deciding on a course of action, you can always message the GrommOff or FeabieMeet accounts for guidance. For GrommOff organizers, we have a detailed guide for how to deal with problematic attendees.
