The physical location shall have been booked and/or online room has been created; All of the Event details shall be identified and communicated; Recording tool shall have been identified and prepared.
Post-event operations
Event details
Communication
- With regard to announcement and other communication channels,
- The Tech Events for Managers and Entrepreneurs meetup group (hereinafter, the Group) is used for onsite meetings;
- The WorldOpp fb-page (hereinafter, the FB Page) is used for online meetings only.
- CNM Wiki (hereinafter, the Wiki) serves as the main platform for contents of the Events content including their minutes and recordings.
Price
- As any WorldOpp event, the Event shall be offered at absolutely no cost to its participants.
Start time
- No particular start time requirements exist; the Host decides what time is the best for the particular Event.
Length
- No length requirements have established yet. Some suggestions can be the following:
- From 45 minutes to one hour for online only Events;
- From one hour to 90 minutes for onsite Events.
Event host
- Main wikipage: WorldOpp event host
- Requirements for the Host are published at the WorldOpp event host wikipage.
Calendar
- When it is launched, worldopp.org will serve as the official calendar for the Events. The calendar of the Group and FB Page can be used temporarily as the calendars.
Participants
The Host is the only confirmed participant of any Event. The other should be invited primarily through the Group and/or the FB Page, but may choose to participate or not to participate.
Agenda
Epic of agendas
- In the future, the WorldOpp programme (or the programme) shall be the main topic of the Events. Although the Events eventually shall address needs of several categories such as skill seekers, job seekers, and/or income seekers, this programme hasn't been developed yet.
- WorldOpp development shall be the main topic of the Events until the programme is developed. However, Friends Of CNM, as many startup businesses, experiences difficulties in hiring developers. Because of the novelty of the programme, qualified employees for remote positions such as Friends Of CNM DevOps, Outreach, Event Administrators, and others are not available on the market. Training of the programme apprentices looks like the only available option.
- Thus, the main topic of the Events at the moment is the development of the recruitment process, which would include sourcing, onboarding, training, and placement. An Opplet incubator shall be developed first in order to facilitate this process. Many would like to be hired, but they are not able to start learning. The Events should primarily serve as a platform to discuss how to face this challenge, especially to brainstorm and find solutions that would allow recruiting learners for an Opplet incubator.
- After the recruitment process is dreamed, designed, and developed, all positions are filled in, and an Opplet incubator is fully staffed, the topics will shift to WorldOpp development, especially to development of Careerprise Orientation, WorldOpp Placement Seminar, and Septem Artes Administrativi. After the programme is dreamed, designed, and developed, the topics will shift to the WorldOpp programme itself.
Typical agenda
- By default, any Event consists of one or more parts:
# Description Duration 1 - Q&A session for new attendees related to the introductory presentation of Friends Of CNM;
- If there is a room, the session extends to any question related to the WorldOpp programme and/or its development.
15 minutes 2 - One by one, those participants who would like to speak up, describe the challenges that the Community faces and possible solutions to its problems. The other participants may or may not ask questions and/or provide the speakers with their feedback.
- The sequence of the speakers is defined by the agenda created in advance on the first-come-first-served basis. If the time allows, those speakers who are not on the official agenda are welcome to present.
