Thanks, Steven.** **Updated: 08/30/2024** **Best Practices for Events Steven Caliridion/Goodwill Ambassador Steve is Hosting** **1) Most Events are limited to 12 incl. Host/Guide. Most Events are posted on a Maximum of 3 Meetup Sites to avoid over cross-posting. Once limit is reached others go on a wait-list.** **2) 4Days prior to event start time host/guide Steven Caliridion/Goodwill Ambassador Steve will Post a Re-Confirmation of GOING Notice in the Event Comments Section and any Event Updates. We Request Re-Confirmation of GOING by posting GOING in the Comments Section up to 24hrs. before start time of most events if no wait-list or 48hr. before start time of event if event is maxed and has a wait-list. If no re-confirmation is received by 48hrs. prior to event start time spot(s) available will be released to those on a wait-list. For those on a wait-list, spots will be released via prvt. message with Confirmation Reply of GOING Requested from Host/Guide up to 24 hrs. prior to event in the comments section. Once maximum number of spots have been re-confirmed all others on a wait-list will be given notice that event has maxed out. Event RSVPs close 72hrs/3Days prior to event if event has a waitlist or 48hrs./2Days prior if no waitlist. \*\*\*With Meetup you can't edit your RSVP Going to Not Going once Event RSVPs Close if you are logged in using the Website Login Method but you can via the APP. If you need to Edit your RSVP and are having trouble you can give notice in the events comment section or prvt message me. \*\*\*Receiving messages does not work when mobile web login but does work on APP and Web Login using a Computer/Laptop.** **\*\*\*To Re-CONFIRM GOING just using the word GOING is all that is needed.** **3) 24 hrs. prior to Event Total Re-Confirmed Going will be posted in Event Comment Section regardless of total RSVP Going number shown which will give us a better number of those actually showing vs no-shows. This also should be the latest host Steven Caliridion/Goodwill Ambassador Steve cancels or changes an event unless unforeseen issues or weather conditions.** **4) Those Re-Confirming GOING will receive Steven Caliridion/Goodwill Ambassador Steve’s phone number if needed along with Unique Zello 2Way Communication Channel for Event. This also helps Steven/Steve learn guest names.** **5) Habitual changing status from Going to Not-Going on Meetup 12hrs. or less prior to event start time is cause for person(s) being flagged.** **6) Host Steven Caliridion/Goodwill Ambassador Steve will be available on the FREE Zello 2-Way Walkie Talkie Communication APP [https://zello.com/personal/download/](https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fzello.com%2Fpersonal%2Fdownload%2F%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR13_2lvtdnk-GVLVC2MADgIxYl4hjMU12u884IuPS78WE1LxntB1DdaWfE&h=AT3xHllWSWZR8jmBuuGcTrb9kkMSVKDyOdFnbvxturf4-iuNaGsfzf20bxzdX1zq_bQYleF67-JYkbd4Td-rFZJFmXhlgJUS4jENgtfBoECDBkPqwyE3jbR7MHft7a0gzdBw&__tn__=q&c%5B0%5D=AT2aYGft9oWpeHAb0f8_0Zn1LvTNSejV1E0JnXLNWZvOcYKGyNO1QaSKkneongX3eh4tbTkjneKMai0PCS-1D51s7WaW763muxMTjIwCNHv2b5WJaxYD0QNleRB_aUVoSFq2OzI2h3MD45Pte148CRliDJakIj6mGhxi0PkikTRnpeMM)  on Unique Event Channel 1.5hrs prior to event start time for Instant 2-Way Walkie Talkie style communication to help in all regards. IE: Directions. This is easier with a faster reply than messaging.** **7) Most Events Start Time show a 15min. meet&greet time prior to actual starting of event. Any Late Arrivals once event has started may get updated info via the FREE Zello 2-WayWalkie Talkie Communication APP on the unique event channel. which is preferred vs messaging which is easier and faster for the host/guide to respond.** **8) 3x that an attendee fails to show at an event without changing status Going to Not-Going is cause for removal from group.** **9) Host Steven Caliridion/Goodwill Ambassador Steve has the option to cancel event or non-host/guide event up to 24hrs. prior to event if a min. of 4 Re-Confirmed Attendees is not reached, weather and/or other.** **\*\*\*All notices above and last minute notices will be given in the Comments Section of Meetup event and also in the discussion section of event via the hosting Facebook Page/Group. This is an additional way all attendees can stay updated and on any last minute changes to event. \*\*\*If you are getting too many emails go to settings and adjust but be sure to check comments of event starting 4Days Prior to event.** **\*\*\*Most events Steven Caliridion/Goodwill Ambassador Steve Host will be min. of 4.** ====RULES FOR POSTING MEETUPS===== Before posting your meetup, come back here and check the rules for posting a meetup BEFORE you post to make sure your meetup is acceptable.

If you are a young adult this is the perfect group to try out with the most active group in the area. This is the fastest growing group in Tampa since I launched this back in May. This is now one of the most popular groups in the area with many events having 50+ on the weekends. Very often once a member attend one of our events the first time they sign up for another 5 events I have a good amount of regulars at events which help break the ice for newer members at our events. Events I offer will be a range of big ones and smaller ones. This meetup isn’t the typical bar hopping ones. I offer events like hiking, kayaking, arts & crafts, book club, dancing, pickleball, outdoor adventures, unique events like field day games. I pledge to make this a very active group with many different events. I like to have a balance of big events like beach days and top golf and smaller events trying to group other peoples hobbies together. Target people who like hiking, yoga, camping, beach days, kayaking, water sports, campfires, sunset, star gazing, biking, etc. As someone who grew up in Utah with the outdoors, I am looking to connect other outdoor lovers like myself too. IMPORTANT GROUP POLICY If you can no longer make it to an event you need to either update your rsvp or message one of the organizers. I understand something comes up no worries please respect our time it takes a lot time and effort to organize events which we do volunteer. After 2 times no showing without updating rsvp will result in removal in group. This will be strictly enforced with our members we haven’t met yet.

Walking Innovators is a hiking group for entrepreneurs, venture capitalists, local professionals, and innovators with a unique format: combine walking/hiking activities with brainstorming, intellectually stimulating conversations, etc. Meet other innovators, get advice, bounce ideas, learn something new, make friends, and find help and support from your peers - professionals in the same or similar industries - all while hiking and enjoying nature. You won't even notice, as you get more fit, improve your posture and get a good workout in the most natural way (just as our ancestors did), while doing their daily chores. The human body requires a lot of movement to stay healthy (10000 steps daily recommended by the American Heart Association) and the Austin metropolitan area offers some great trails/views and plenty of opportunities for outdoor activities. We can start with some simple yet effective walking and exercise techniques (courtesy of my chiropractor and gymnastic in structor in Europe) while discussing various topics of interest. We hope that the fresh air, beautiful nature, and interesting conversations with other innovators will inspire us to come up with new ideas, find teams/partners, create amazing projects, launch start-ups, and maximize our potential in general. Topics can be suggested for each meetup and we can form interest groups for every hike - anything from technology to management, education, etc. We can also team up with other meetups and expand our horizons. Feel free to provide your suggestions, new ideas, and comments - we look forward to exploring opportunities that this new format presents. The Walking Innovators group was first started in SF Bay Area in August of 2011 and expanded to Hawaii (Oahu), Los Angeles and Austin, TX. Now we are thrilled to restart the group for the new generation of entrepreneurs and innovators.
