-TODO+Finding speakers for each meetup is the hard part that you have to keep doing every month. The best way of doing this is to encourage new speakers (for example by offering short "lightning talks"), and do as much "networking" as you possibly can. Look for local speakers, national speakers as well as keeping an eye out for international speakers who might be in the area too! Try to plan as far in advance as possible - if you've confirmed speakers for 2-3 months ahead of time, it will save you a lot of stress!

-TODO+User groups should ideally have a code of conduct in place that details the procedures the user group takes, and the general expectations of mutual respect for all peers. Don't just pay lip service and have a code of conduct just because: you need to make sure your user group is a welcoming and inclusive place for everyone.
  
 == Alcohol == == Alcohol ==
  
-TODO+Sometimes, groups might meet in pubs or bars, but it is very important to note that not everyone will want to drink alcohol at your event. Make sure that your meetups don't focus around //just// drinking and that they are open to all.
