+## Announcing the event
+
+Once you know when and how your event will take place, you'll want to tell the
+world about it. At a bare minimum, you should decide on a canonical place where
+all public information about the event lives - this might be a dedicated web
+site, an event on an existing event online service or some other place which is
+publicly accessible.
+
+### Registration _Optional_
+
+If you require your attendees to register, make it clear what information is
+required for signing up and what the deadline for the registration is. If
+there's a maximum number of attendees the venue can handle, communicate how the
+selection process works and when/how people will be notified if they've been
+granted attendance or not.
+
+If there's a waiting list for the event, make sure to explain how it works.
+
+#### What to ask for
+
+Most registration forms lets applicants enter name, contact details and food
+preferences/allergies (if applicable). Depending on your event and your venue,
+you might want to ask for additional information - this manifest lists a few
+other topics which might make sense to add to the registration form.
+
+There are also a number of things you probably should _not_ ask for, like
+gender, religious preferences etc.
