Introduction

Welcome to the Software Sustainability Institute’s Event Organisation Guide (SSI-EOG or EOG for short). The Institute has built up a large amount of experience organising events, ranging from a few to around 100 attendees. Our Collaborations Workshop (CW) series is an example of one of our larger and more complex events. The CW series combine audience-led sessions in the style of an ‘unconference’ and traditional workshop sessions. CW has around 80-100 attendees and there is no call for papers but a call for mini-workshops.

This guide goes through the steps of organising an event and is structured around the way the Institute organises its workshops and events.
