Apologies for the delayed response as i'm traveling. Thank you Oleg for providing a thorough response :)
Hi Rick,
Oleg has pretty nailed it in his response. For what it's worth, we do not have a page w/ set guidelines for conferences as it's a larger and complex scale than meetup groups. Typically people willing to put together a conference has previous conference organization experiences. Also, they look at previous conferences i.e Jenkins World, JUC Israel, etc and would follow similar format. I've worked closely with Jenkins conference organizers to help guide them through the process, i.e obtain trademark, event details, and promotions to name a few. Am happy to work with you on your event as well. Pls feel free to reach out directly if I can be of any help.
thnx
