How to guides

We’ve put together a suite of how-to guides to make sure that your activities are a success, whatever community you’re a part of.

• How to run a community event
• How to plan and fund a community
• How to market and promote a community
• How to run a successful community

There are five different types of community:

  • Local Networks - based on a geographic area, our Local Networks are present around the world from California to Japan and many areas in between.
  • Technical Networks - these networks produce high-level technical event content and support our knowledge portfolio.
  • Young Professional Networks - linked to Local Networks, they give under 30s a forum to exchange knowledge and contacts.
  • Online Community - using the IET EngX platform allows members around the world to collaborate.
