+# SIG Contributor Events
+
+This document defines planning and activities needed to organize the SIG Meet and Greet and SIG F2F activities at Contributor Summits.
+
+- [SIG Meet and Greet](#sig-meet-and-greet)
+- [SIG F2Fs](#sig-f2fs)
+
+## Skills and Qualifications
+
+- Familiarity with the SIGs, including understanding how SIGs are related to each other and any likely overlap in membership.
+- Good organizational skills, including being able to relentlessly follow up and get responses if SIGs are unresponsive.
+
+## SIG Meet and Greet
+
+### Overview
+
+The SIG Meet and Greet is a great place for SIGs to recruit contributors, and 
+every SIG should send one or more experienced members to the Meet and Greet.
+
+As part of the Contributor Summit SIG Meet and Greet, SIGs will have easy access to 
+
+* experienced Kubernetes contributors who are interested in expanding their involvement into new SIGs.
+* new contributors, many of whom have extensive experience from other projects, and 
+are excited to get started in Kubernetes after attending a New Contributor Workshop. 
+
+As SIG Meet and Greet Lead, you are responsible for contacting each SIG, encouraging them to participate, 
+and facilitating the session at the Contributor Summit.
+
+Time Commitment
+
+  - 1-2 hours a week from 3 months in 
+  - 2-3 hours a week in the month leading up to the event
+
+### Responsibilities
+
+- Contact each SIG and get the names of 1 or more experienced members who will represent the SIG at the Meet and Greet.
+- Expect to spend a fair amount of time following up with SIGs to get the name of their representatives.
+- Add these representatives to a calendar notice for the SIG Meet and Greet.
+- Make sure that we have table stands and buttons for each SIG that are organized and easy to hand out at the beginning of the event.
+- Recruit a few volunteers to distribute table stands and buttons and to help SIGs / contributors find the right tables. 
+- Make a short announcement at the beginning with an overview of how it works.
+- Walk around the room to help lost contributors get matched up with a SIG table.

+
+## SIG F2Fs
+
+### Overview
+
+At *some* Contributor Summits, we will have space available for SIGs to hold in person meetings for contributors. In most cases, these
+are like the normal SIG Zoom meetings, but in person. Note that these meetings are
+just for SIG contributors, and don't replace the intro and deep dive meetings held during KubeCon for users.
+
+As SIG F2F Lead, you are responsible for reaching out to SIGs to find out which ones would like to hold meetings, and then managing the
+space available to make sure that we stop accepting new requests when we run out of space.
+
+Time Commitment
+
+  - 1-3 hours a week in the 2 months prior to the event.
+
+### Responsibilities
+
+- Put together a request form to gather requests and find out how much time they require and how many people they expect.
+- Promote this request form to the SIGs in our regular SIG chair emails.
+- Work with the event staff to understand the space available.
+- Coordinate with the New Contributor Workshop and other Contributor Summit organizers to make sure that these meetings do not overlap with other activities, especially the SIG Meet and Greet.
+- Place SIGs in rooms at specific times being careful to put SIGs at different times if they are likely to overlap in membership.
+- Communicate room placement / times back to the SIGs and ask them to promote their meeting within their SIG.
+- Make sure that the F2F activities are on the schedule with a brief description of the purpose of these meetings.
