- An independent calendar page
- Youtube channel for Live and record
- Email invitation with Zoom links
- Speakers brought demos and encouraged people of hands-on
- Hackers asked questions frequently – they did use those products; they did not hesitate to ask

#### Slack channels/Conversations
- Email notification and follow-ups
    - Confirmed with me if I will be participating
    - An email reminding for staking (Trend also kept reminding hackers before and after each workshop)
- Well organized channels
- Emphasize that Slack is the only communicating channel
- Speedy response 

## Organizer and sponsor teams' support

Fast response
- ETHGlobal created a new channel rapidly when Brian asked if there is any place to share project updates
- Fleek team replied to me soon when I reported a bug to them on the Slack channel

## Friendly community
- The intro channel is a great way to start talking to the community. People are actively sending information about themselves.
