SOP for EAG Conferences
1 - clarify your goals
2- clarify types of people you’d like to have 1-1s with to meet these goals
3- pick workshops you want to go to
4- in Swapcard app, delete the 1-1 time slots that are during workshops
5- search Swapcard attendee list for relevant keywords for 1-1s
6- make 1-1s, scheduled in location where it will be easier to find ppl (ie not main networking area) — ask organizers if unsure of what this will be in advance
Notes
-don’t worry about talks since they’re recorded
-actually use 1-1 time slot feature on Swapcard (by removing times you’re not available)
—-this removes rescheduling scramble via message that otherwise occurs
-make all 1-1s in same place for your convenience
-if there’s a workshop you want to go to that’s full, try going anyway
Survey Studies on Perception of EA Ideas
Has anyone looked into the possibility of doing survey studies on the perception of EA ideas? I'm thinking of surveys that might include questions that prompt the participant to choice between 2 statements. Each statement might contain an EA idea, but phrased in a different way. The goal would be to determine which verbiage is more palatable. Another type of question might measure which statement is more likely to convince the participant of a given view, or to take a certain action. The audience would be those who were not already EAs. Ideally the result would be a set of word & phrase choices that were statistically proven to be more palatable & also better at convincing people of changing their views or taking action. This set of language could then be scaled as a best practice across a wide variety of community building & fund raising efforts.
