SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Third parties - user groups, sponsors, attendees - run parties, meetups, dinners, and workshops around your event's dates, often using your name and logo without asking. This Skill gives organizers a deliberate framework for deciding what to approve, what to list, what naming to permit, and how to route liability, instead of improvising at T-2 weeks. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Approval posture selection: Choose among doing nothing, self-registration listing, vetted application, or partnership agreement, with explicit promotion and deletion conditions keyed to your situation. - Naming and branding rules: Set one of four rungs from no name use to licensed co-branding, with exact reusable disclaimer sentences and real policies from SXSW, CES, and KubeCon. - Calendar deconfliction: Protect your published grid's key hours with protected windows, shared calendars, or a curated fringe guide, without ever moving your own sessions. - Liability routing: Name exposure categories (marks misuse, apparent endorsement, venue injuries, alcohol, personal data) and route each to counsel or the mark holder without stating legal rules. - Use Case: A user group asks to run a "pre-conference" meetup with your mascot on the poster. The Skill walks you through refusing the wording, supplying a non-affiliation sentence, checking sponsor exclusivity, and imposing code-of-conduct adoption as an approval condition. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to decide whether a local user group can run a meetup the night before your conference and what they may call it.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I handle third-party side events during my conference?

Choose an approval posture first: do nothing, run an open self-registration listing, vet applications against published criteria, or sign a partnership agreement. Write criteria before the first request arrives, set a naming rule, and publish your posture either way.

Can a user group use our conference name on their meetup page?

It depends on the naming rung you set, from no name use at all to licensed co-branding. The default is mandatory non-affiliation wording: they may name your event but must carry one exact sentence stating who runs the meetup and that your event does not.

What should I do when someone uses our event logo without permission?

Doing nothing stops being an option once your name appears in published third-party materials. Route the marks question to whoever holds the trademark and to counsel, supply a non-affiliation sentence, and write criteria and a naming rule before the next request arrives.

Should we publish a list of unofficial parties during our conference?

Only with explicit non-endorsement framing asking attendees to support independently-run events, never presented as your programme. An unvetted list without that framing reads as vetted programming and is worse than publishing no list at all.

Are we liable if something goes wrong at a side event we listed?

This Skill deliberately never answers liability questions, because the specific rule is jurisdiction-specific. It names the exposure categories - apparent endorsement, venue injuries, alcohol, personal data - and routes each to counsel or the mark holder.

When should we not build a side-event approval process?

When nobody has asked to run anything and nobody is using your name, the honest answer is approving nothing, published rather than left silent. Building forms, criteria, and fringe guides for a population of zero is the primary failure mode.
