The 4 Ways You're Confusing Your Attendees (& how to avoid them)
1. Information Overload Information overload is often born out of an honest excitement to share as many details about an event as possible. While properly communicating the particulars of an event is typically a good thing, it’s possible to share too much to the point where your attendees are simply overwhelmed by the amount of info they’re seeing. As a good rule of thumb, pick 3-4 main “selling points” of your event and explain those thoroughly. In the end, it’s easier to remember 3-4 big things than 20 little ones. If you just can’t narrow your points down, rotate a few at a time into your event description every couple days or weeks.

You have a lot of options to supplement the drinking. We’ve seen meetups organize raffles, silent auctions, and giveaways. These act as a great way to ensure your attendees stay till the very end to see if they win anything. Setting up a photo booth is super easy to do too and can extend the life of your meetup beyond the event date.
As we’ve detailed in 
Before setting up any social media accounts, the first step is deciding what personality you want your event to embody. The personality you choose should not necessarily mimic yours, though. Remember, you’re trying to create a unique identity that reflects the event not its organizer.
Often times, it works well to imagine your event as a person. What would they sound like? How would they dress and act? If your event is a punk rock battle of the bands you may want to be edgy and rebellious. If you are a tech conference you might want to be witty and informative.
The persona you adopt should resonate with the typical attendee of your event. The goal is to engage and connect with them so base your persona around them.
Now that you have your event identity chosen, it’s time to start creating social media accounts. There are thousands of different social media sites your event can be on but to keep things manageable I recommend using around 3-5 different accounts. If you’re the punk rock battle of the bands, it makes sense to be on music oriented sites like MySpace or SoundCloud. If you’re the tech conference you may want to try popular “techie” social media like Google+ or Snapchat.
To keep it simple, check out these 3 main and essential social media platforms to give your event a voice:
Creating a Facebook Business Page
Just like millions of Facebook users have a personalized profile page that tells their story, so, too, can your event. Facebook is a perfect starting point because the vast majority of your attendees are already on it and can easily connect to your page.
When creating you page the two main features to utilize to really let your event persona shine:
When creating your Twitter account, the most important thing to customize is your handle, . The handle is the title people will tag you with when mentioning or tweeting at you. While you can keep your name simple (like the name of your event or organization) your handle is where you can get creative and establish an identity.
It’s also important to remember to keep your handle relatively short. Every tweet has to be less than 140 characters so the longer your handle the less room people will have to write their message and add hashtags (we’ll get to those in a sec).
Get Visual With Instagram
Instagram is a powerful tool to upload, edit and share photos related to your event. You can also add short snippets of text to accompany each photo as well.
This a great way to use imagery and visuals to bolster your event’s identity and give people a sneak peek and what goes on behind the scenes. While a concert might would consider sharing highly stylized photos of its musicians, a small fundraiser might share photos of the event being set up to add a personal connection to the cause.
Once you’ve determined your personality and created the accounts to display it, it’s finally time to let it shine! While you should alter your strategy slightly for each social media you use, the tone and personality should remain consistent throughout.
They key here is to identify points of customization where you can demonstrate your event’s unique personality. For example, “favoriting” somebody’s tweet on Twitter is great but it does nothing beyond notifying them you enjoyed the tweet. There is no customization and minor engagement. A hashtag, on the other hand, is a
