Discussion Item: Metrics

[unijohn]

@gpspake brought up the idea of coming up with metrics to help us have a firmer grasp of what our attendance numbers are for our meetups and other associated events.

• For formality's sake, what kind of metrics would we want to track/record?
• For past big events, are those numbers available ( e.g. tickets sold, actual attendees ) for marketing/reference purposes?
• For meetups, do we just want a simple head count, or would it be helpful to tie numbers to actual people ( i.e. for outreach purposes )?

Metrics I'd like to see

• Attendance
• Employed in tech industry - local or remote

Big Events:

• Total tickets sold
• Daily attendance (if multi day event)
• Total social media impressions of any campaigns

Meetups:

• Head count is usually more important
• "how did you find out about $meetup?"
• Join our meetup group to stay informed!
