Give your next live session a clear path
September 2, 2026 · Hosted by Ian McDonald

Plan the invitation, access and useful outcome for a community event, then test the experience a member will have.

Leave with a clear event plan and visitor checklist.

BEFORE YOU START
Choose a real session idea and the audience you want to invite. Decide whether it is intended for the public, all members or a particular membership group before changing settings.

FOLLOW ALONG
1. State the session’s outcome
Write who the session is for, what you will demonstrate and what people can do afterward. Choose a realistic duration and one main activity.

2. Write the invitation and access plan
Include the date, time zone, destination and any access requirement. Match the invitation with the audience you actually intend to admit.

3. Test the member journey
Open the destination from the audience’s point of view. Check registration, joining instructions, the required account and where a person can ask for help. Keep a simple backup instruction for anyone who gets stuck.

PRACTICE PROMPTS
Adapted exercises. Replace bracketed text and review every result.

GET UNSTUCK
Should every event be public?
Choose the audience appropriate to the event. Test that the visibility and access settings match the invitation before sharing the link.

Can I rely on features described as in development?
Treat roadmap discussion as historical context. Confirm current availability in Help before planning a session around a feature.
