This isn't exactly how I envisioned my first AN meetup...But it's better than nothing!
I want to ask, will there be any structure to the meetup? Will I have to do that whole small talk/introduction business? Who will actually turn on their mics and cameras? Who will actually stay to the end? Guess we'll find out!
I don't think there will be a strict structure to the meetup - but the ideas that have been floated so far are; playing among us, a kahoot and really any other game that everyone is able to play. It could even be no games and just talking. Still taking more suggestions on this!
No one will force anyone to do anything they don't want to do. If you don't want to turn on your camera/microphone you don't have to. Historically, when someone comes to a meetup they introduce themselves and then everyone else who was already at the meetup introduces themselves. So this kind of thing happens each time someone turns up. idk how necessary this will be given people will have their names listed on zoom. However, it might be nice to acknowledge anyone new that comes online and they can give a little intro if they would like to.
