## **Gather Interest** <a href="#yp46etxvo54e" id="yp46etxvo54e"></a>

Gather interest in your event before requesting to schedule it.

* Use the #party-up channel for combat events. Ping a role and see if anyone would be interested!
* Use the #event-planning channel for social events and brainstorming!

## **Message** Events Coordinator <a href="#etqju18ilb8t" id="etqju18ilb8t"></a>

If there's an event you'd like to host, contact Hana Song to help coordinate it!

We'll work with you to:

* Brainstorm ideas and event format.
* Consider days and times that don't conflict.
* Add it to our [FC Calendar](https://ff14fun.club/calendar).
* Set up signup sheets.
* Announce it at [fc-meetings](https://info.ff14fun.club/archive/fc-meetings "mention").

## **Announce Event** <a href="#muv9vtdnbfkb" id="muv9vtdnbfkb"></a>

About 30min-1hr before your event, we recommend you post in FC chat!

> **Example FC chat post:**
>
> ★ Your Event! ★ Today at 6pm Pacific ★ Short description of your event!

## **Group up** <a href="#jj561y2shcrp" id="jj561y2shcrp"></a>

When it’s time for your event to start:

* Invite people to your party based on the signup sheet number shown next to people’s names on the sign-up sheet.
* Announce in FC chat that you’re grouping up and ask if anyone else would like to join!
* If there are more people interested than you have room for, plan to either split the party or rotate people when able.
