## Steps to actually do it

Everything in 1.-8. as soon as possible, no deadline, but the sooner you do these the more chance of people finding it; Do 9. latest the week before the workshop to make sure you get all e-mails from us.

3. Find people to help if needed (suggestion to have one person with knowledge on CodeRefinery topics)
4. Decide which days you want to provide and book a room with suitable space and equipment
5. Decide who you want to invite (your org only, researcher only or free for anyone)
6. Decide about registration needs (with us or separate)
7. Send us text for event website (examples from last workshop: https://coderefinery.github.io/2025-09-09-workshop/#local-exercise-groups)
