+# Default Meetup Itinerary
+
+###### 6:00 - Meetup Preparation
+
+* Setup event space (chairs, swag, food, etc.)
+
+* Welcome speakers
+
+  Ensure speakers have arrived, are parked, settled, laptops are charged and
+  work with the projector.
+
+  Ensure speakers are aware of the Code of Conduct and agree not to violate it.
+
+* Prepare first speaker (laptop charged, slides ready to run, etc.)
+
+###### 6:30 - Meetup Starts

+
+* Staff Introductions
+
+  So that everyone attending knows who to go to with questions or report a

+  quickly on to the next person.
+
+* Sponsor Introductions
+
+  Provide 2-min platform for sponsors to address attendees. Wrap up by thanking
+  the sponsor and 
+

+
+###### 8:30 - Meetup Ends
+
+* Closing remarks
+
+  Announce next meetup date, topic, thank sponsors, etc.
+
+* Module of the Month
+
+  I think it would be cool to highlight a neat module that we find useful or
+  unique. Some great sources of ideas include DailyJS.
+
+  Not only does this expose attendees to cool modules, but it can also highlight
+  the existence of NPM/Bower and the power of open source to our beginner
+  attendees.
+
+* Community cross-promotion (Angular, Famous, GDG, etc.)
+
+* Swag giveaways
+
+* Clean-up event space
