Specificity is key - "disability day" won't
attract people who don't see / identify as having a "disability",
e.g. for deaf / hard-of-hearing communities(jwf,

Engaging with / reaching out to local tech
communities that focus on underrepresented groups to save our time
on organizing and bandwidth on creating custom events(jwf,

Examples: Women Who Code, Black Girls Code,
etc.(jwf,

Benefits from working with community organizers
with lots of experience in working with specific underrepresented
groups (who are usually always looking for people to deliver free
content / info), saves budget on us creating and executing entire
events (meaning we can do more for less and ideally have similar
impact)(jwf,
