Protocol for organising events

Gisele Almeida edited this page Feb 22, 2023 · 1 revision

Steps to organise events:

  • Create a ticket to share information about the event with the team.
  • Check if the Zoom account is free on the date. If guest speakers will be invited, check if the date is suitable for everyone at least 3 months in advance.
  • Create the event in Eventbrite (include a question to participants: are they OK with the event being recorded?)
  • Create a TinyURL for the event's Eventbrite link
  • Produce a blurb about the event and an image with event details to be shared on social media. In the Programing Historian Canva account there is a set of images with the title "promo-images" to be used as the basis of promotional images for Programming Historian events. These images should be adapted to suit the colour of the relevant publication
  • When sharing images on social media, add alt-text to give in writing the details written in the image
  • Always ensure the web accessibility for the visuals
  • The Programming Historian colours and fonts are available in the Brand Guidelines
  • Programming Historian's existing imagery can be found in the following pages: https://www.flickr.com/photos/britishlibrary/ or https://www.flickr.com/photos/e-codices or http:https://www.loc.gov/maps/collections
  • Send guest speakers a Google Calendar invite with the link to the Zoom call (10 minutes before the announced time) and the questions / points to be discussed during the event
  • At least 3 weeks in advance, start to communicate the event
