Look online and find as many write ups, blogs and summaries as you can about how in-person events (any kind of events) are both getting participants more engaged and participating before and after events.

Your job would be to research this. Imagine you are an event organizer and you want to help newcomers and participants be involved and feel prepared and comfortable before your event starts. You also want to use the event as a catalyst and understand ways to harness the positive energy experienced at the event and help attendees to continue their work into the future.

You should look on the internet and collect as many relevant links as you can. Separate them into pre and post event efforts. Then write up summary of common themes and new ideas that you have discovered and learned about in an easy-to-read summary. You can create an edit a wiki page as a subpage of your personal page (for example under https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:YourUsername/Event_Participation_Strategies , replace YourUsername by your own username on that website after you have created your account), or put your links and summary on phabricator (see the Phabricator Help). All of your writing should be freely published under an open license to be reused. Your writing may ultimately end up on a wiki so others will have the chance to change, add to, and edit it.
