* ''Consider how attendees will stay in touch''. The moments after the event are the ones where a community can most easily form between your attendees, so respect that possibility and make sure you provide an email discussion list for attendees to chat on, a Facebook group, a form option through which you will email attendees' names and emails to each other, or something of the sort. |

* ''Think about follow-up events''. If follow-up is obvious -- like inviting people to a "project night" after an introductory workshop -- great! Make sure to share that recommendation, and do so with high clarity. Perhaps put the URL on a projector, and give people 90 seconds to check their calendars and sign up for it. If the follow-up methods are less obvious, think harder: for an open source outreach event, are there conferences nearby that are coming up? Is there a programming user group that welcomes newcomers that might be a good fit? Mention them, because attendees new to the community are likely to have never heard about them. |

* ''Think about next actions''. Are there specific non-complex tasks they can sign up for now that will retain their momentum? For example, for an open source event, perhaps tell them about codetriage.com. |
|||
* ''Ask attendees to share their successes''. Find a few people (perhaps 5) to stand up and speak for 30sec to 1 minute about what they accomplished during the day. |
