Idea: the local group organisers might use something like spaced repetition to invite busy community members [say, people who are pursuing a demanding job to increase their career capital] to the social events.
Anki’s “Again”, “Hard”, “Good”, “Easy” might map to “1-on-1 over coffee in a few weeks”, “Invite to the upcoming event and pay more attention to the person”, “Invite person to the social event in 3mo”, “Invite person to the event in 6mo or to the EAG”.
Oh, underrated comment from 3 years ago. One problem, however, is that you don’t want too many connections to go through you specifically, since it’ll overload you and possibly replace other connections they might form. People don’t have infinite bandwidth for connections, and if they only have room for one EA friend, say, you don’t want to take up that slot long-term. You may not want to permanently set yourself up as the linchpin.

Another possible metaphor here is exponential backoff.
