Choose a technical event's structure before anything is scheduled - the event shape (recurring meetup, hackathon, unconference day, single-day or multi-day conference), one program or several (single versus multi-track), workshop-day ratios, the session-format mix (curated talks, workshops, open space, ignite, fireside chats, panels), delivery mode (in-person, virtual, hybrid), and hackathon demo/judging structure. Use whenever asked to pick an event format or concept, decide single-track versus multi-track, weigh hybrid or virtual delivery, compose a session mix, or graduate a meetup into a conference. Structural choice only. Do NOT use for schedule grids, clash avoidance or room-capacity matching - use samber/dev-event-organizer-skills@event-schedule-design.
Shape one organizing team's set of event properties - flagship conference, meetup series, hackathon, podcast or always-on online space - into a portfolio where each one feeds the others. Covers what each property is for, the funnel path between them, cadence collisions against one team and audience, how much brand, audience list, team and sponsors are shared, the allocation posture, and add/kill criteria written before they are needed. Use whenever asked whether to add a second event or format, how a meetup feeds a conference, how to keep momentum between editions, or which property to retire. Do NOT use for growing one event - use samber/dev-event-organizer-skills@event-growth-strategy - or swaps with other organizers' events - use samber/dev-event-organizer-skills@cross-event-promotion.
Design and audit the lived culture of a technical event - the register (hacker, corporate, design, business) and its consistent expression across venue, catering, swag, dress code, stage production, MC and hosting tone, opening and closing ceremonies, and the values a code of conduct puts in the room. Use whenever asked to define an event's vibe or cultural identity, design a signature tradition or ritual, script an opening or closing, brief an MC or organizer-hosts, choose a swag posture, or audit an event whose stated values and on-site experience contradict each other. Embodiment only. Do NOT use for what the event stands for - use samber/dev-event-organizer-skills@event-positioning - or CoC policy and enforcement - use samber/dev-event-organizer-skills@event-code-of-conduct.
Grow an established technical event edition over edition, or decide not to - the demand-headroom read, one discrete lever per edition (venue squeeze, track or day addition, venue step-up, price-led growth), the contract-risk gate on venue moves (deposits, attrition penalties, F&B minimums, long lead times), the pricing posture before scaling, and deliberate non-growth (caps, lotteries, shrinking back down) as a real strategy. Use whenever asked whether a conference or hackathon should grow, how to scale capacity, whether to add a track, a day or a venue, or how to stay small under excess demand. Do NOT use for a first launch - use samber/dev-event-organizer-skills@event-first-edition - or multi-event portfolios - use samber/dev-event-organizer-skills@event-portfolio-strategy.
