Groups: Bidding FAQ
I want to submit a bid, but I don’t know anyone with the experience to be the committee chair. Can you suggest someone?
Certainly! If you want to submit a bid but need help in any way, please reach out to us. We’re here to support bid teams and Mysterium committees. We want this to be easy for you and we want you to succeed.
Why can’t FMG just choose a city and run Mysterium themselves every year?
As you probably know, Mysterium is entirely volunteer run, and experience has shown that having the same group do everything every year causes rapid burn out. The only way to make sure Mysterium continues to happen is to get more people to volunteer to run it, even if only for one year.
What do you mean by “accepting bids”?
A bid is a collection of information about a possible host city for Mysterium, and is submitted by a group of people who would like to run Mysterium in that city.
Who is the Falling Man Group?
FMG is the parent organization for Mysterium. We provide support for the teams that run Mysterium every year, and work to make sure that the convention can continue to happen reliably in the future.
