# Finding IRL and Virtual Crypto Events
###### tags: 'how-to'

Attending crypo events can be some of the most mind-opening, inspiring and creative forums for one to start their web3 Community Manager journey. There are so many complexities to the "web3 ecosystem", or the thousand of sub-cultures. It's important that we do proper research, have goals, schedule accordingly, and if we want to get more involved— we support to the best our ability.

Getting more involved

- Community organizers are busy. That's the reality of it. If you want to be well-respected, gain rapport or be involved in more activities— jump in! The issue that a lot of Community folks have is that everyone "wants to help" and are constantly reminded "tell me what to do!" However, we're not going to tell you what to do. Community organizers, and managers rarely tell people what to do. We guide. We instruct and we nudge connections or relatinships. If you want to make your Community organizer's day— approach it this way.
- "Can you send me a list of roadblocks you have?"
- "Do you have a summary or planning documents I can familiarize myself with?"
- "Can you connect me with someone that can guide me on how to execute this project?"
