first time founder asking for practical promotion advice, not pitching the event!

Hi everyone,

I’m starting my first event business and would appreciate some practical advice on promotion.
The concept is called Curated Learnings.

The format is simple:

45 minute lectures in London social venues (bookstores and libraries maybe ), followed by audience Q&A.

The topics sit where AI meets real life, including work, privacy, energy, education, society, geopolitics and life sciences.

The goal is to make lectures feel more social, accessible and worth leaving the house for.

I’m mainly trying to understand two things:

How would you promote something like this on social media?

And if you had to choose between Instagram, LinkedIn and X, which platform would you focus on first?

This is my first time building an event business, so any practical advice would be appreciated.

Thank you 🫰🏾🫰🏾🙂

What business models could work around expert knowledge?

Hi everyone,

Jay here, I’ve worked in the expert network space for a little over four years as an Italian-speaker.

Over time, I’ve stayed in touch with quite a few of them. Some became friends, and some have almost become mentors.

I’m not trying to build another large expert network. I’m trying to understand whether there are smaller, more useful business models around expert knowledge.

For people who have done expert calls or worked with these platforms:

If someone had strong relationships with a small number of good experts, what kind of business model would you suggest exploring?

I’m not recruiting or selling anything here. I’m just trying to learn from people who know the space better than I do.

Genuinely appreciate for any advice, thanks!
