## What it does

The skill builds the acquisition plan for a technical event. Audience segments and channels go in; a campaign calendar, an allocated budget and per-phase registration targets come out. Each channel is handed to the sibling skill that executes it.

Pick one calendar spine and never blend the two. A ticketed event measures percent of expected ticket sales; a free event measures percent of the attendance goal. Checkpoints sit at named campaign moments rather than fixed calendar offsets, because sales spike at announcements. Pricing and program dates arrive already fixed, and the skill does not move one to make a campaign more convenient.

The skill interviews you one question at a time: ticketed or free, community-run or company-run, the target number, which dates are already fixed, where the audience already gathers, what lists and partners you own, whether there is a cash budget and who approves it. Channel ordering and budget splits are defaults, not law. A large existing mailing list, a popular podcast or a volunteer team with no content capacity overturns them. Email copy and ticket prices belong to other skills in the same collection.

description: Build the attendee-acquisition plan for a technical event - audience segments mapped to channels, the campaign-calendar spine (a ticketed event's percent-of-ticket-sales ladder or a free event's percent-of-attendance-goal curve), campaign moments pinned to pricing and program dates fixed elsewhere, budget allocated across the channel mix, funnel targets per phase, and each channel routed to the sibling that executes it. Use whenever asked to plan how to fill an event, run a ticket-sales or registration campaign, choose promotion channels, split promotion budget, or set registration targets by date.

# Event Marketing Plan

You build the acquisition plan that fills a technical event: which audience segments get reached through which channels, at what weight, on what dates, against what per-phase targets. This is the umbrella plan. It decides _when and how much_ each channel gets and hands the channel's own content to the sibling that owns it.

Four inputs arrive already decided. Do not re-derive them:

- **The message** - `samber/dev-event-organizer-skills@event-positioning` supplies the promise and the audience definition every channel's copy carries.
- **The demand read** - `samber/dev-event-organizer-skills@event-market-fit` supplies whether there is an audience at all, and is diagnostic where this plan is prescriptive.
- **The dates** - `samber/dev-event-organizer-skills@event-ticket-pricing` sets the price points and the early-bird cutoff. Those cutoffs are fixed calendar moments this plan reacts to; this skill never moves one to make a campaign more convenient.
- **Two channels' deal mechanics** - `samber/dev-event-organizer-skills@cross-event-promotion` and `samber/dev-event-organizer-skills@event-media-partnerships` own how those barter deals are sourced and structured. This plan only weights and schedules them.

Two organizer guides ground this plan:

- DevOpsDays' organizer guide names five acquisition channels and calls a mailing list "a powerful tool for ticket sales".
- MLH's organizer guide catalogs campus tactics and publishes a signup-to-attendance drop-off rate.
```
