## Frameworks & Best Practices
**Event formats that work for startups:**
| Format | Best For | Typical Size | Effort |
|--------|----------|-------------|--------|
| Fireside chat | Thought leadership, intimate discussion | 20-50 | Low |
| Panel | Diverse perspectives, networking draw | 30-100 | Medium |
| Workshop | Teaching, product education, lead gen | 15-30 | Medium |
| Demo night | Showcasing products, community building | 30-80 | Medium |
| Hackathon | Developer community, product feedback | 20-100 | High |
| Dinner / small gathering | Investor/executive networking | 8-15 | Low (but high cost) |
**Luma-specific tips:**
- Use the "Require Approval" feature to curate attendees (quality > quantity)
- Enable "Ask a Question" during registration to qualify attendees
- Set up co-hosts so speakers can also invite their networks
- Use Luma's calendar subscription feature for recurring events
- Luma's built-in reminder emails have high open rates — don't duplicate with external email
