Contact their allocated participants (up to 15 individuals) in a nominated window prior to the event to:
- welcome them to the community
- answer any questions they have about the upcoming event or source those answers if unknown
- gain an understanding of what world/life/city changing goal they will be working on over the next 12 months and what impact they are looking to have, to determine what assistance you might be able to provide, including identification of potential connections that might be desirable for them to make in the community on event day.
- find out if they are nervous about event day, as some introverts are, and think of ways to support them
- share your own goals, ideas, and challenges with them to create an ongoing point of conversation.
- share with them what you are personally planning to stand up for in the next 12 months
