Hi everybody, this might sound really weird, but would anybody be up for doing a YouTube live stream 'concert' for charity in the next few months? It can be covers of music or your own songs, it doesn't really matter. The main goal is to provide entertainment for people and raise money for charity. I want as many performers as possible to chip in, as I want it to be appealing for viewers to actually watch. We will do the concert via video call and stream it out onto YouTube. One positive is that each performer will be able to advertise their music, and also, you choose a charity to link on the stream. For example, I'd link the mental health charity Mind. If you do want to perform, comment below so I can DM you or DM me through my profile if you can. Thanks a tonne

July 18th!
Free drinks
Free food
Music all night
Open for everyone to come to!!

We had a conference setup recently where the devices showed up the day before and the team ended up spending most of the night charging everything, installing apps, signing into accounts, labeling devices, and testing printers.
None of that was supposed to be our main job, but it took attention away from speaker prep, registration planning, and the venue setup.
For teams running larger events, do you handle all of this in-house or work with someone who sends everything ready to use?

Hello! I've posted before about these listening sessions and here I am again to spread the word to those who might be interested. I would with a non profit organization named Colorado Jobs with Justice. JWJ works on helping those with laboral issues getting connected with resources one might need. This year we are revamping the Equitable Possibilities In Construction (EPIC) program which focuses on listening and engaging with women and non binary people to share their experiences and determine what change we can help bring to encourage more people to join these work places. We have help 4 to this date and plan on having a few more before the end go the year; Which then we'll hold a summit where the participants and those others who have helped bring this together, will vote and decide what issue we would like to show most focus to. So if you identify as a woman or non binary, work in a male dominated trade, wanna be more engaged and connected with people who might experience the same issues you have, and live in Denver or the surrounding areas, this would be a great opportunity. Contact me with any questions you may have! Translation will be provided as well as rides and child care if needed. You will be compensated for your time

Hola! He puesto un post aquí antes sobre sesiones de escuchar y estoy aquí otra vez para correr la voz para los que están interesadas. Yo trabajo con una organización llamada trabajos con justicia. JWJ trabaja en ayudar a personas con asuntos laborales y conectarlos con recursos que uno necesaria. Este año estamos reconstruyendo nuestro programa de Posibilidades equitativas en la construcción (EPIC) que se enfoca en escuchar y acoplarlas con mujeres y personas non binarias para que compartan sus experiencias y determinar que cambios podemos hacer para promover los oficios que son dominados por hombres para que se sientan seguras las mujeres. Desde esta semana pasado, hemos tenido 4 sesiones y planeamos tener mas antes de fin de año; En cual luego tendremos una reunion donde ustedes votaran y decidirán que asunto nos vamos a enfocar. So si te identificas como mujer o una persona non binaria, trabajas en un trabajo dominado por hombres, quiere acoplarse y conectarse con personas que han pasado por cosas similares, y vives en Denver o las areas rodeadas, esta es una buena oportunidad. Mándeme mensaje si tienen preguntas. traducción, transporte, y cuidad de niños serán proveídos. También será recompensada por tiempo.

Is there something I need to do to open the events? I never see the tab until there is maybe one or two days left and that doesn't leave me much time to get anywhere. Also is there a place to get information on how to best play the game. I'm getting a little bored just moving things around the board, I've been playing for a while and am only on level 25. P.S. what is a flair and tag I just picked one to post this. As you may have figured I'm not much of a gamer

We're hosting a multi-day conference soon and want to use gamification to keep attendees engaged between sessions—things like point systems, leaderboards, challenges, or scavenger hunts tied to booth visits and networking. I'm not sure which mechanics actually drive participation versus feeling gimmicky, or how to tie them into our existing event app without overcomplicating the experience. I'd also like to understand what metrics we should track to prove this investment actually improved engagement and lead generation, not just attendance numbers.

I’m putting together a booth for an exhibition next month and need around eight iPads for visitor feedback. Ideally we’d like stands as well so everything looks consistent and secure. Has anyone rented something similar before?

We are handling the temporary bar service for a huge stadium concert series next month. We run Clover/Lightspeed systems and need an ipad rental supplier that can provide 40 touchscreens, receipt printers, and standard cash drawers.
Has anyone worked with a vendor that sends everything out as a matched kit so it links up without a fight? I cannot have issues during service.

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 🫰🏾🫰🏾🙂

Hi, I have been using YouTube university pretty much but I also need help with building my network across people using and doing stuff in Al and agentic space, any recommendations for this weekend?
Budget - under $100

May I know where can I find some event marketing manager groups? like whatsapp group

Hey everyone, we’re putting together our annual fundraising gala next month and need around 15 to 20 kiosks for a silent auction. Since it’s a once a year thing, renting makes way more sense than buying equipment.
Has anyone worked with a provider that’s easy to coordinate with and actually helps you through the setup process without things getting messy on event day?
