One thing that may help is to locate the OS event at a well used local meeting place and to ensure that “coffee and finger food snacks” are available at a reasonable cost.

I have conducted OS meetings in all sorts of spaces, they have been spaces where the participants feel comfortable!<div><br></div><div>Create the space and the people will come!<br><br><div id="AppleMailSignature" dir="ltr">Regards<div>Rob</div></div><div dir="ltr"><br>On 31 Oct 2018, at 5:57 am, Harrison Owen via OSList <<a href="mailto:oslist@lists.openspacetech.org">oslist@lists.openspacetech.org</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr"><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"><meta name="Generator" content="Microsoft Word 12 (filtered medium)"><style><!--
