| ### To start planning an event: | ||
|
|
||
| 1. Join us in the **#organizing** channel in [our Slack workspace](slack.md). Start a conversation along the lines of "I'm thinking about XYZ," and get a discussion going about what shape the event could take. | ||
| 1. Fill out the [event proposal form](https://forms.gle/ymyPXJkn8MbThadZA) here with some details of what you're thinking about, or make a post in the **#organizing** channel in [our Slack workspace](slack.md) with the same information. This does not have to be a complete plan! Just the seed of an idea is great - we are happy to help you expand on it. |

I'm not sure we all wanted to go with the form. One the one hand it could seem like paperwork, I guess on the other, it's intimidating to walk cold into a Slack channel where others are watching.

| ### Tips for a good event planning experience | ||
| 1. Stay active in the discussions that happen in Slack. We plan collaboratively. Others will have helpful ideas or tips to make the event successful. | ||
| 2. Take ownership of your idea. You're the one with the vision! We will help you get there. |

I don't know what people will think "Take ownership" means.

| 3. You don't need to stick to the types of events that we currently run (e.g., Presentation Nights). We have a broad user base, and variety helps us reach more of them. |
