Hi @ChehakTrehan!
Thanks for your contribution.
What Andy meant in his comment in #414 ("Don’t repeat other sections of the cookbook, like how to make food selections") is that the new content you are proposing covers topics that already appear in other sections of the Cookbook.
For this new "Social events" section of the Cookbook, we are looking for guidelines for social events that take place as part of conferences, not as standalone events. That’s why topics such as food selection, accessibility, and the code of conduct, for example, are already covered in the cookbook because they are general aspects of organizing a conference.

Hii @rivaquiroga
Thank you for the clarification! I understand now that the "Social events" section should focus specifically on guidelines for social events as part of conferences, and that general topics like food selection, accessibility, and code of conduct are already covered elsewhere in the Cookbook. I’ll revise my contribution accordingly to align with the section’s scope.

Thank you for your guidance!

Best regards,
Chehak

Hi @ChehakTrehan, the editorial team meets once a month to review open PRs. Unless someone is available to review earlier, this PR will be looked at around mid-November. We appreciate your understanding and patience. Most of us here are volunteers and may not be able to review changes immediately after each update.

#### 🍎 Low effort, high impact
- Choose simple, low-cost activities that focus on interaction rather than expense (for example, shared breakfasts, walks, or discussion circles).
- Use existing conference spaces for casual meetups instead of booking new venues.

why is this here? I don't see it as "intentionally designed to foster inclusion, comfort, and belonging for everyone"

The intent was that simple, low-pressure activities can lower barriers to participation and help people feel more comfortable joining in. That said, I agree this isn’t clearly framed around inclusion and belonging, if you’d prefer, I can remove this section.

It was really just the last bullet that I thought didn't fit and would remove

Most conference social events don't have a cost to attendees, at least for the events I've attended.

Thanks for pointing this out. Some conferences I’ve seen do charge for certain social events. Should we rephrase it to apply only when events have a cost?
