Reminder Messages
- Send three reminder messages before your event: one week prior, three days prior, and the morning of.
- This keeps the event top-of-mind and provides logistical information.
Name Tags
- Use name tags at events where not everyone knows each other; it acts as a visual unifier, like a sports jersey.
- Name tags level the playing field and symbolize that everyone is there to connect.
Follow-Up
- Send a follow-up thank you message the morning after an event, including a group photo.
- Avoid creating WhatsApp groups or overdoing follow-up, let the event be a single-serving moment.
