Help Organize
Organizing our events is a team effort, and there's room for lots of hands. Most of the ways to pitch in don't need any special access or accounts: especially blog write-ups and design work.
Ways to pitch in
- Coordinate with our venue host: handle logistics with the space and confirm details
- Coordinate with sponsors: line up food or other event sponsorship
- Speaker support: help speakers prepare and feel welcome before and during the event
- Be the MC of the day: host the event, introduce speakers, and keep the program on time
- Write blog recaps: turn an event into a write-up for the site (see Contributing to the Website)
- Design assets: posters, social graphics, and event banners
- Speak or host: see Speak at our meetup and Host a venue
How to get started
Just tell us in the #city-vancouver channel on the PyLadies Slack what you’d like to help with, and we’ll set you up. No experience required. The step-by-step guides for each stage of running a meetup are in the Meetup Runbooks.
Design and brand assets
For design work and blog graphics, you’re welcome to use our logo and brand assets: [design assets, link to be added].
Whenever you reach out to venues, vendors, or speakers, always CC vancouver@pyladies.com. It keeps the whole team in the loop and means nothing depends on a single person’s inbox.
