If you are an R-Ladies organizer and have further questions, please ask them in an issue. Planning events Organise the year (or, say, semester) in advance. Even if you change your plan in the middle is always good to know what to expect. Find speakers at least two months before the talk. Even if it is a 5 minutes talk, it will give you peace of mind and time for people to prepare their talk. https://guide.rladies.org/organizers/events/speakers/index.html Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 https://guide.rladies.org/organizers/events/speakers/index.html How to recruit speakers Regularly tell meetup attendees that you are looking for speakers. Suggest topics to members of your chapter; e.g. if you notice someone got started with ggplot2 or wrote their own package, suggest they talk about that. Lightning talks events can be a way to invite new speakers since they can prepare a short talk. Example Call for Proposals by R-Ladies NYC. For short talks, you could use R-Ladies Cotonou’s approach of asking speakers to briefly present “what they like the most about R or would like to know.”. https://guide.rladies.org/organizers/events/online/index.html Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 https://guide.rladies.org/organizers/events/online/index.html Info 📢 Hello all, we have a Zoom Pro account for chapter meetups! 💻 What: Zoom Meeting for up to 100 participants 🔗 Where: Calendly link (in the description of the #online_meetups channel on the R-Ladies Organizer Slack) 📹 If you record the Zoom session we can host it on our YouTube channel! 👀 If you don’t use Zoom, you can still find the resources section useful. https://guide.rladies.org/organizers/events/online-no-zoom/index.html Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 https://guide.rladies.org/organizers/events/online-no-zoom/index.html Info What if it is not realistic to expect participants to have good internet at home?

Some chapters run their own channels, which are subscribed by the global channel, so it’s easy to find more related content. Zoom and Youtube See the dedicated section. Contributing through chapter channels Since some chapters have their own channels, these videos do not show up in the R-Ladies Global channel, even if we highlight chapter channels on the page. We would, however, love to link to videos in other channels so people can easily find more content.
