This document serves as general information about how we run events at locations. If you have any questions, feel free to approach us via mail.
Our events usually start at 7pm, however usually, attendees start to arrive earlier. At least one of our organizers will join at around 6.30pm to set up everything.
A typical event lasts until 10pm the latest, which includes time to clean up the location. We appreciate companies hosting us and strive to leave a clean space behind. Our attendees are asked to help clean up the space as well.
The following checklist outlines our expectations for a location for our events:
- No Catering (please no pizza either) unless specifically agreed on. Snacks (the healthier, the better) are fine. Please note that all food served should be vegetarian. It would also be awesome if information about allergens is provided to the attendees.
- We do not want active recruiting taking place at our events.
- We expect everyone, including the location hosts, to comply with our values.
- We usually need Flip Charts; we bring our own Post-Its and markers. We'd appreciate if you could provide pen and paper for the attendees.
- Room Setup
- Coding Kata: 10-15 pairs who can sit at a table and code together. Monitors and keyboards are not necessary, power plugs and Wifi needed.
- Lean Coffee: 2-4 desks for up to 8 people each, placed as far apart as possible so the individual sessions are not disturbed by other tables.
- Accessibility: Please tell us if your location is accessible, e.g. via elevator.
- After the event we usually go for a drink together. It would be nice if you could reserve a place for 10-15 people around 10-10:30pm or recommend us a place so we can take care of this.
We will give you time at the start of the event to introduce your company to the attendees. We will also mention you in tweets in advance of the event if you provide us with your twitter-handle.
