You don't have to book an official venue for your event; we encourage you to use the resources in your community. Here are some ideas:

• Reach out to friends and colleagues to explore venue opportunities.
• Contact local creative venues such as co-working spaces, design studios or libraries.
• Make a reservation in a public space like a Café, park, bar or restaurant.

After breaking your attendees into smaller groups, you'll want to have a few experienced professionals to join each group to share constructive feedback. These professionals will lead a review session, instruct their group on how they should present their work, and provide feedback. Depending on the size of your event, you may need anywhere from 2 – 6 small groups.

How should you find these Review Leaders?

• Reach out to creative leaders in your community
• Sort the Behance Gallery for your region (using the map tools) and reach out directly to qualified
  creatives you’d like to invite as Group Leaders.

Once you've confirmed the basic info of your event, start spreading the word.

• Use the hashtag #BehanceReviews to tweet about your event and share your event link.
• Create an event on Facebook (in addition to the Meetup invitation).
• Share your event with friends on Facebook.
• Message your Feedback Circle on Behance with the event link.
• Keep your event on Meetup Everywhere up-to-date by responding to questions and sending out a reminder message to attendees a few days before the event.

Leading up to the Portfolio Review, we'll send you supporting emails to guide you through the promoting & hosting process, as well as an Event Kit that includes a Portfolio Reviews Handbook, promo materials, stickers, and more.

During your event, you will:

• Introduce one or more of your Review Leaders to give a short presentation
• Oversee the Portfolio Reviews to make sure everything runs smoothly
• End the Reviews after 60 minutes and transition into Drinks & Mingling
