I like how you have clearly defined the problem and proposed a solution. I am curious about the value proposition: what is the value to your members? Why should they join?
For user channels, highlight the platforms you will use to reach your target members: Twitter, WhatsApp, etc...Same for Contributors.

Think of it as a Product (Community), the users would be the members, and the contributors would be the core team, the speakers, sponsors, etc. How will you attract them?

README reads great!

Great work creating README and contributor Guidelines! So far, it seems the only ways to contribute is by adding issues or editing the files in your repo. But how would your project actually work? What activities you plan and how people could contribute to these? Adding some concrete examples/plans would help to clarify this.

@babasaraki echoing some thoughts above for the open canvas - the aims area awesome and really exciting! But what are the tangible channels/actions/groups etc. that will help you boost your metrics?

Well written out README. I like the boldness of using emojis :). This is a great project also, all the best with the final touches.
