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. Meetups not following these rules will be deleted. You can post anything you like as long as it's not \- Something offensive \(you have some leeway here\, just don't piss people off\)\. \*\*\*Group Trips should be posted on Caliridion Travel and/or Goodwill Ambassadors Travel Groups. Contact if you would like to be able to create trips and post. \*\*\* \- Something illegal \- Something that's similar to a craigslist post\. \- Something that is overtly or covertly promotional without express permission in advance of The Admin of the group \- Something that is trying to promote an App or Website or Social Media\. Hooch or other scams are not allowed\. \- Posts of events of other groups is OK WITH permission of The Admin\. No links to other groups\. The event must be able to stand on its own\. Do NOT divert or direct members to other groups\. NO OUTSIDE LINKS ALLOWED UNLESS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY: Outside links are links to websites, or social media or anything. You are only allowed to use outside links if they are ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY to your meetup, AND you get prior approval from Admin. If you do not have approval: the links or event will be removed. DO NOT E-MAIL MESSAGE THE GROUP UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES: You may not email members or message the group via meetup using the bulk email feature for any reason, if you think or feel you need to do so, message The Admin to do it for you. \*\*\*You MAY message and/or email those that already RSVPd to CONFIRM GOING to your event or to let them know about any changes. Do this directly and NOT with the bulk email feature. Violation of this will result in immediate removal, and then you can explain after and get back in the group. SPAM: If you use the "discussion box" feature or if you use bulk email to spam groups you will be removed. There is zero tolerance for spam from Event Organizers or Members of this group. This group will not be associated with allowing spam. Do not overuse the discussion box since we ALL receive more than enough messages/e-mails to try to weed through.

If there is a no host event you will be asked to add a host or the event will be removed. https://Meetup.com rules state there are no "No Host" events allowed. THE MORE NOTICE THE BETTER: Meetups MUST be posed at least 1 day in advance, but the more the better. Please don't post any same-day or last-minute meetups; it's not enough time for people to make plans to attend. Four weeks advance will get you the most RSVP's Important:::MEETUPS MUST BE MEETUP ORIENTED and \*\*\*related to what the Group is about.\*\*\* DO NOT EDIT OR DELETE ANYONE ELSE'S MEETUP: Admin will ban anyone that edits or deletes someone else's meetup without their permission. Frequency: It is ideal to NOT repeat an event less than 6 weeks. There are exceptions. Just ask The Admin if you wish to post carbon copy events in less time. This rule is aimed at event promoters or bands. Repeating a band at a different location is a repeat. If you think The Admin will see your event as a copy that you are promoting, then contact first and ask for permission Money: If your event has a charge of more than $10 You MUST message the main admin BEFORE you post. MEETUPS THAT VIOLATE THE ABOVE RULES WILL BE EDITED or DELETED. The person who posted it may receive a warning afterwards or they may be removed and placed on hold pending sorting out of any issues.

Tampa Bay Outdoor Adventures (20’s & 30’s)

Tampa, FL

Tampa Bay Outdoor Adventures (20’s & 30’s)
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 Tampa

Tampa, FL

Walking Innovators Tampa
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.
