@witokendrink232: I AM SORRY TO ANYONE WHO MISSED MS. YENIVA SISAY’S SESSION!!! We went beyond talking about events. We got into the business of creating experiences, understanding people and figuring out what it actually takes to build an event that works in Freetown. What makes someone buy a ticket? Is it the venue, the music, the people, or the feeling they’re hoping to experience? We explored the different kinds of people who attend events, why some people hesitate to buy tickets, the complicated relationship between friendship and business, pricing, discounts, marketing and, perhaps most importantly, WHO ACTUALLY GETS PAID FOR THE GOOD TIME WE ALL ENJOY? But we didn’t just sit and listen. We became production teams! We were given different audience profiles, challenged to design an event for a fictional Freetown crowd, make production decisions, work around budgets and pitch our ideas. And that’s what made this session special. We had to think beyond what we wanted to organise and consider the people we were organising it for. One of my biggest takeaways? A big following is not the same as a full room. And a good event is not just one where people have fun. It’s one where the experience delivers on its promise and the people doing the work are valued. A HUGE thank you to Ms. Yeniva Sisay for bringing her experience, honesty and practical knowledge into the room. We appreciate you! And to everyone who made it, thank you for continuing to show up, ask questions, challenge ideas and make Wi Tok en Drink the experience it is becoming. If you’ve been following us from a distance, what exactly are you waiting for? 😂 There is a whole world of interesting conversations, new perspectives, unexpected friendships and experiences waiting for you. Don’t just hear about what happened. Come be part of the next one. Wi Tok en Drink. Where we learn something, meet somebody and leave with more than we came with. 🥂🧠 #witokendrink #sierraleoneanskillingit #freetownevents #sierrasocialclub #thingstodoinfreetown
