13 days left before 2024 ends, and Reflection mode is activated ?? Earlier this year, we had the pleasure of interviewing Ian Minor, Future of Work and Hybrid Hospitality Specialist, during our online event on Memberships in Coworking Spaces. One thing you should know about us is how much we appreciate Ian. Since the first time we met (thanks to Nellie Hayat ??) and recorded a podcast with him (link in bio), Ian has always been someone we love to listen to. He has tremendous experience in hospitality and has worked for incredible hospitality brands in India, the US, and the UK. The knowledge he brings to the coworking industry is very precious. So when during our online event we asked him what were some of the most effective techniques to sell memberships, we LOVED what he brought up: "The Art of Touring". Why? Having interacted with so many coworking brands around the world, we realized how much of an art touring is. When done right, it leaves a long-lasting impression. When done wrong, it costs opportunities. Watch below what that means and if you wish to access the full recording of the event, check out the link in our bio. And you? What do you do to make the experience of touring your spaces stand out? Tell us in the comments! #coworkingspace #memberships

?? ???????????????????? ????????????????: ???????? ?????????? ???? ????????????-???????????????? ???????????? ?? Planning an event means balancing impact and budget—especially when it comes to the venue. Here are some tips to help you maximize your venue choice without breaking the bank!? 1?? ???????????????? ??????-???????? ??????????? Booking during weekdays or off-season can reduce venue costs significantly. Venues are often more flexible during less busy periods. 2?? ?????? ???????????????? ???????? ????????????? Instead of traditional halls, explore unique locations like coworking spaces, community centers, or outdoor areas. These can add character to your event and cost less! 3?? ?????????????? ????-?????????? ???????????????????? Many venues offer in-house amenities like AV equipment, tables, and seating. Using these can save you from renting externally. 4?? ?????????????????? ???????????????? Venues often offer package deals. Don't hesitate to negotiate or request customized packages that include only what you need. 5?? ???????????? ?????????? & ?????????????????? ???????? Many venues charge by the hour, so a streamlined schedule can help minimize rental time—and cut costs. Budget-conscious planning can still lead to exceptional events. By making smart choices, you can host an impactful event while saving where it matters most. #EventsDelight #CorporateEvents #EventBudgeting #CostSavings

?? The Economic Impact of the 'Quiet' Event Season in the Middle East ?? As summer temperatures soar across the Middle East, the region’s bustling event industry takes a noticeable pause. This seasonal slowdown, while a respite from the relentless pace, carries significant economic implications for various stakeholders. Economic Ripples of a Quiet Season: The summer lull in events impacts multiple sectors: ?? Hospitality Industry: Hotels, restaurants, and venues see a dip in bookings and revenue. According to Colliers International, the hospitality sector experiences a decline in occupancy rates, leading to reduced income for businesses reliant on event-driven tourism. ?? Freelancers and Gig Workers: Event planners, caterers, and technical staff often face reduced opportunities during these months, affecting their income and financial stability. ?? Local Businesses: Vendors supplying goods and services to events, from florists to audiovisual companies, also experience a downturn in business. Adapting to the Slowdown: While the summer slowdown is a challenge, it also offers opportunities for adaptation and growth: ?? Strategic Planning: Event companies use this period for planning and strategy, ensuring they are well-prepared for the busy seasons. This includes upgrading technology, training staff, and developing new event concepts. ?? Off-Season Discounts: Hotels and venues often offer discounts and special packages to attract local business and smaller gatherings, maintaining a steady stream of income. ?? Alternative Venues: Creative use of air-conditioned indoor venues and leveraging digital platforms for virtual events help mitigate the impact of the heat on in-person gatherings. Long-Term Prospects ???????????? The cyclical nature of the event industry in the Middle East, with its seasonal peaks and troughs, underscores the need for resilience and innovation. As climate change potentially extends the duration and intensity of hot seasons, the region's event industry must continue to adapt, finding new ways to sustain economic activity throughout the year. At The Event Production Company, we’re committed to navigating these seasonal challenges, ensuring our clients receive unparalleled service year-round. By leveraging strategic planning and innovative solutions, we help keep the economic engine running, even during the hottest months. #EventEconomy #MiddleEastEvents #SeasonalImpact #EventManagement

Is it scary to cross the 52 to check out an event? Some say it's a mythical border, but it's not exactly like the famous wall of Snow and Ice. Can you name that movie? ;) I pulled the event data from the spooky month of October to see how the distribution looked. Here's what I found: Of the 45 events that found their way into the Coyote: 28 were above the 52 freeway -----52----- 17 were below the 52 freeway Why did I pick this line? This is the unofficial divider between north and south county. When traffic is factored in, it can be quite a barrier to cross. Snow and Ice is no match. But that doesn't mean that half of the city's events are off-limits! They just require a little planning and strategy. I asked around so you don't have to. Some say they check out a coffee shop around noon or 1 and work remotely until it's time to connect. These are the dedicated coyotes. Howl yeah. Actually, check out Fred's famous post about his favorite spots to meet investors and founders. The list is quite robust and I'm still working through it to try them all. And you might see a Fred in the wild! Downtown Works has coworking spaces all over, and you could pop in for a day if you need more focused time. I think they have a partnership with SIX° Networking if they're on your radar. Edge has been known to have open coworking on days they hold events. I bet others do this unofficially too. What I tend to do is load up a podcast, call my mom, or just enjoy the freedom from my phone. Traffic is annoying, thinking time? Kinda nice. This city is wonderful, and part of the reason is that our scene is massive, geographically and in density. If we plan ahead, we can vanquish the wall and take advantage of all this city has to offer. Howl yeah! -- If you're already howling with us, you know, ahwoo! If you'd like to get more plugged in, meet other founders, and make new connections, join the pack. Come howl with us.
