Event Hosting Guidelines
Create engaging and valuable events for the Neural Nexus community by following these guidelines.
Introduction
Hosting events on Neural Nexus is a great way to share knowledge, build community, and connect with others interested in AI and machine learning. These guidelines will help you create successful events that provide value to attendees and align with our community standards.
Types of Events
We support various types of events on our platform. Here are some ideas:
Workshops
Hands-on sessions where participants learn practical skills or techniques, typically involving coding or working with AI models.
Webinars
Online presentations or lectures focused on sharing knowledge, with Q&A sessions for attendee participation.
Discussion Panels
Group conversations with multiple experts discussing topics, trends, or challenges in AI development.
Hackathons
Collaborative coding events where participants work on projects, often with prizes for the best solutions.
Networking Events
Casual meet-ups focused on community building and connecting people with similar interests.
Demo Days
Showcases where creators can present their AI models, applications, or research to the community.
Do's and Don'ts
Do's
Provide clear descriptions of your event, including prerequisites, target audience, and what attendees will learn.
Be prepared with materials, slides, code examples, or other resources needed for your event.
Start and end on time to respect attendees' schedules.
Record sessions when appropriate, with permission from participants.
Foster inclusive discussions and ensure all attendees have opportunities to participate.
Follow up with attendees after the event with additional resources or next steps.
Don'ts
Don't mislead attendees with inaccurate event descriptions or exaggerated claims.
Don't promote harmful content or projects that violate our community guidelines.
Don't engage in excessive self-promotion or use events primarily for marketing purposes.
Don't share attendee information without explicit permission.
Don't allow harassing behavior or discriminatory comments during events.
Don't cancel at the last minute without good reason and proper communication.
Best Practices for Virtual Events
Many events on Neural Nexus are conducted virtually. Here are some tips for hosting successful online events:
Test your tech setup before the event, including audio, video, and any presentation materials.
Have a moderator to help manage questions and keep discussions on track.
Use interactive elements like polls, breakout rooms, or Q&A sessions to keep attendees engaged.
Share materials in advance so attendees can prepare and follow along more easily.
Consider accessibility by providing captions, transcripts, or other accommodations when possible.
Have a backup plan for technical issues, such as alternative communication channels or co-hosts.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I promote my event?
Once your event is created, it will appear in our events listing. You can also share the direct link to your event page on social media or with your network. For additional promotion, consider posting about it in our community discussion forums.
Can I charge for tickets to my event?
Currently, all events on Neural Nexus must be free to attend. We're working on paid event functionality for the future.
How do I get attendee information?
Event organizers can access a list of registered attendees, including their names and email addresses, from the event management dashboard. This information should only be used for event-related communications.
What if I need to cancel or reschedule?
If you need to cancel or reschedule, update your event as soon as possible and notify registered attendees through the event management dashboard. Try to provide at least 48 hours' notice for any changes.
Are there limits on how many events I can host?
There are no strict limits, but we encourage quality over quantity. Focus on creating valuable, well-organized events rather than hosting many events in quick succession.
