我的城市没有任何设计活动，所以我自己组织了一次。 (There weren’t any design events in my city, so I organized one myself.)

“The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both are transformed.” — Carl Jung

“两个人的相遇就像是两种化学物质的接触：如果发生任何React，两者都会转化。” —荣格

Doing something you’ve never done before is inherently exciting.

做以前从未做过的事情本质上是令人兴奋的。

When I wrote to Framer a couple of months ago asking why there weren’t any Framer events scheduled in Boston, they responded with, “Well, why don’t you host one?”

几个月前，当我写信给Framer询问为什么在波士顿没有安排Framer活动时，他们回答：“好吧，为什么不举办一个活动？”

Truth be told, I’m generally not one to organize events. I think I’m a little too micro-manage-y of a person to both enjoy it and keep it running smoothly. It’s like asking Woody Allen to host a comedy show while catering it at the same time. But this time, for some reason, I said yes.

说实话，我通常不是组织活动的人。我认为我对一个人的管理太微不足道，既不能享受它又可以保持它平稳运行。这就像要伍迪·艾伦(Woody Allen)主持一场喜剧节目，同时兼顾它。但是这次，由于某种原因，我说是的。

And if Framer hadn’t connected me with two extremely outgoing, organized, and awesome partners-in-crime, Emily Carlin and Gideon Goldin, it would not have gone nearly as smoothly.

而且，如果Framer没有将我与两个非常外向，有条理和令人敬畏的犯罪分子艾米丽·卡林 ( Emily Carlin)和吉迪恩·戈尔丁 ( Gideon Goldin )联系起来，那就不会那么顺利。

So, as Nacho Libre says, “Let’s get down to the neety-greety.”

因此，正如纳乔·利伯(Nacho Libre)所说，“让我们深入了解一下贪婪。”

As I quickly learned, there are the five ingredients to a successful meetup:

我很快了解到，成功聚会有五个要素：

Location
位置
Food
餐饮
Booze
豪饮
Guest speakers
客座演讲者
Some semblance of an agenda
议程有些相似

We locked down the location, food, and booze relatively quickly. Finding a great speaker was much more of a challenge.

我们锁定了位置，食物和酒水，相对较快。寻找一位出色的演讲者更具挑战性。

After some time, we connected with Andrew Nalband of Cut and Fold, a veteran designer and avid Framer user. He used Framer to develop killer interactions like this:

一段时间后，我们与经验丰富的设计师兼狂热的Framer用户Cut and Fold的Andrew Nalband建立了联系。他使用Framer开发类似这样的杀手级互动：

And after a quick survey of other events, we had an agenda, which I promptly inserted into a flashy little invite.

在快速浏览了其他事件之后，我们有了一个议程，我Swift将其插入了一个浮华的小邀请中。

So, our with our ingredients prepped and ready, it was time for liftoff!

因此，我们已经准备好原料并准备就绪，该出发了！

事件 (The Event)

People began filing in around 6:30, and with our abundance of food and drink, there was a comfortable atmosphere in which to socialize.

人们在6:30左右开始报名，由于我们的食物和饮料丰富，这里有一个社交的舒适氛围。

We had pre-surveyed participants, so we had some idea of everyone’s skill level going in. Most people had never used a code-based interaction tool like Framer, so we decided to start from ground-level.

我们已经预先进行了参与者的调查，所以我们对每个人的技能水平都有一些了解。大多数人从未使用过像Framer这样的基于代码的交互工具，因此我们决定从地面开始。

The presentation consisted mostly of an introduction and a show-and-tell from Andrew. He went through the basics of the tool, as well as some inspiring examples of it in practice.

演讲主要由安德鲁(Andrew)进行的介绍和演说组成。他介绍了该工具的基础知识，并在实践中介绍了一些启发性的例子。

What I loved about Andrew’s talk was how comfortably he switched into “educator” mode. He went right down to basics and walked everyone through the interface, what a layer is, and how animation works. We had no idea about what he was going to talk about beforehand, but he totally crushed it!

我喜欢安德鲁的演讲的是，他多么舒适地切换到“教育者”模式。他从基础入手，带领每个人逐步了解界面，层是什么以及动画的工作原理。我们事先不知道他要说些什么，但他完全粉碎了它！

People were so engrossed that Andrew was able to speak for a full hour.

人们全神贯注，以致安德鲁能够讲一个小时。

I also went up to share some prototypes, but there are no photos of that since I was charged with the photography ?

我也去分享了一些原型，但是因为我负责摄影，所以没有照片吗？

We live-streamed the event in its entirety on Facebook. You can watch it here.

我们在Facebook上直播了整个活动。你可以在这里观看。

反射时间 (Reflection Time)

The biggest lesson learned was that, as others have found, it might be good to split people up at the beginning to maximize the effectiveness of the event.

吸取的最大教训是，正如其他人发现的那样，最好在一开始就将人们分散在一起，以最大程度地发挥活动的效果。

While the event was a big success, I did get some feedback that some people came expecting more of a walkthrough, while others were there to better understand how framer fits into the design workflow.

尽管这次活动取得了巨大的成功，但我确实得到了一些反馈，一些人希望获得更多的演练，而其他人则在那里更好地了解了framer如何适合设计工作流程。

For the next event, we will definitely strive to meet these needs, and to be even more awesomer!

对于下一次活动，我们一定会努力满足这些需求，并变得更加出色！

I’d like to thank our amazing sponsors of this event: Framer, Tamr, and Society of Grown-ups. It wouldn’t have been nearly as great without your support!

在此，我们要感谢我们的出色赞助商： Framer ， Tarr和Grown-ups协会。没有您的支持，这将几乎没有那么好！

Also, thank you for reading! If you have any thoughts, I would love your feedback in the comments.

另外，感谢您的阅读！如果您有任何想法，我希望您在评论中提供反馈。
