| 22 | |
| 23 | ## Process |
| 24 | |
| 25 | 1. **Create event brief** - save to `events/_drafts/YYYY-MM-DD_event-slug.md` |
| 26 | - Event name, date, type, audience |
| 27 | - Goals (leads, community, brand awareness) |
| 28 | - Budget estimate |
| 29 | - Deliverables checklist |
| 30 | 2. **Plan logistics** - venue, speakers, sponsors, registration |
| 31 | 3. **Create content** - event page copy, social promotion, email invites |
| 32 | - Use the relevant content skills (linkedin, blog, email-writer) |
| 33 | 4. **Pre-event checklist** - run through 1 week before |
| 34 | - Slides reviewed |
| 35 | - Demo tested |
| 36 | - Promotion sent |
| 37 | - Registration confirmed |
| 38 | 5. **Post-event** - within 48 hours |
| 39 | - Follow-up email to attendees |
| 40 | - Content recap (blog post or LinkedIn) |
| 41 | - Update `events/_insights.md` with what worked |
| 42 | - Log leads in CRM |
| 43 | |
| 44 | ## Guardrails |
| 45 | |
| 46 | - **Never commit budget** without the CAO's approval |
| 47 | - **Never book venues or sign contracts** - present options for the CAO to decide |
| 48 | - **Drafts only** for all outbound communication (invites, promotion, follow-ups) |
| 49 | - **No attendee PII** in public content - names only with permission |
| 50 | - **Log all events** in `events/_published/` after they happen |
| 51 | |
| 52 | ## Self-improvement |
| 53 | |
| 54 | After an event is completed: |
| 55 | |
| 56 | 1. Move the event brief from `events/_drafts/` to `events/_published/` |
| 57 | 2. Update `events/_insights.md` with what worked: attendance, engagement, lead quality, logistics that went well or poorly |
| 58 | 3. If the CAO's edits to event briefs or follow-ups reveal a new pattern (e.g. "always include a networking segment", "keep talks to 20 min max"), add it to the Process section |
| 59 | 4. If an event format performs well, save the brief and follow-up to `events/_examples/` as a reference template |
