Resources

This page aims to collect a list of resources that organizers can learn from and incorporate into their own communities and events. Every community is unique, but we can learn from each others' experience and documentation. The links below are recommended and / or maintained by members of the Conference Chats community.

General Resources

• Conference organiser's handbook is a handbook focused on running a one-track conference with a few hundred attendees.

• The Less Obvious Conference Checklist includes lists of topics to consider as your conference grows and develops.

• Public Speaking Resources is a curated repository of links regarding proposing talks to and speaking at conferences. If you'd like to provide a reading list for your event's (prospective) conference speakers, start here.

• A Google Drive with a collection of information, policies, documents, and tool evaluations relevant to conference organizing.

• The Conference Chats Discord server hosts discussions for community organizers to share their experience and advice.
