During the event

Arrive at the event venue at least an hour before. Make sure that you have enough space allocated for you by the venue. Inform them with the basics of the event (everyone loves Mozilla!). Welcome everyone as they come, and make sure that everyone knows each other. Start with some latest news on mozilla and gradually identify the interests of the group and shift focus on those. Take notes! If you do not know the answer on something, write it down and follow up via email. Keep it fun! After all it is a coffee out with friends :) Pro tip: Treat the venue staff with some swag! They will reward you :)

Budget & Swag request

File the appropriate Budget Request if needed (to cover first round of coffees). You may also file the appropriate Swag Request if needed. Keep in mind that for such a small event it is advised to plan ahead and request swag for multiple events.
