Key Success Factors• A (small) enthusiastic team spending a (hell) lot of hours• “Aim at the moon, at worse you’ll fall into the stars”• Goodies and partners drive engagement (stickers, t-shirts,

certificates coupons, plane ticket…)• Rely on easy-to-update, scalable communication tools

(website, Slack, combo wireless/wired networking…)• Have fun and enjoy the moment!

Thank you!
