Congratulations on hosting your first meetup! As an OG (Original Gamer, but I'm assuming you meant Original Group member), I've got some suggestions for you:

**Pre-Event Preparation**

1. **Set clear expectations**: Define the purpose and tone of your meetup in the invite and on social media.

2. **Create a Facebook Event** or equivalent to centralize communication and RSVPs.

3. **Design an engaging flyer** (like yours!) to promote your event.

4. **Establish a hashtag** for the event, so attendees can share their experience.

**Logistics**

1. **Choose a suitable venue**: Consider factors like capacity, amenities, parking, and accessibility.

2. **Plan for food and drinks**: Decide if you'll provide refreshments or encourage attendees to bring their own (BYOD).

3. **Prepare for technical needs**: Ensure your presentation equipment (if needed) is in working order.

4. **Have a plan B** (and C, D...): Be prepared for unexpected issues or cancellations.

**During the Meetup**

1. **Create an engaging agenda**: Include time for Q&A, networking, and activities that foster community.

2. **Encourage attendees to participate**: Use interactive tools like polls, surveys, or group discussions.

3. **Have a clear facilitator** (you?) to keep the event on track and ensure everyone feels included.

4. **Capture moments** with photos or video to share on social media.

**Post-Event Follow-up**

1. **Send a thank-you note**: Express gratitude to attendees, sponsors (if applicable), and volunteers.

2. **Gather feedback**: Use surveys or focus groups to improve future meetups.

3. **Share event content**: Post updates, photos, and videos on social media to keep the momentum going.

4. **Start planning the next meetup**: Set a date for the next event while the excitement is still high!

Feel free to add any specific suggestions based on your meetup's unique needs. Good luck with your event, and have fun hosting!

Look forward to meeting you there 🫡
