event-positioning

Define a technical event's positioning - what it stands for, against which alternatives, for which audience identity. Covers the governance axis (community-run, foundation, media-run, vendor-owned), competitive-alternative mapping, best-fit attendee and sponsor segments (and when a conference may serve several targets), the business-oriented layer sponsors buy, market-category strategy (head-to-head, subcategory, new category and its education tax), the positioning statement, contrast-not-attack anti-positioning, and the rebrand gate. Use whenever asked to position a conference, meetup or hackathon, differentiate it from neighboring events, decide who it is for, write a positioning statement, weigh a vendor-neutrality claim, or judge an event rename. Strategy only. Do NOT use for on-site embodiment - use samber/dev-event-organizer-skills@event-cultural-identity.
