I am MATT ALLEN some call me LinkedIn King, some call me Miracle Maker, others Matt-The-Miracle, whatever you call me does not matter, it is the love that we share for all people that really brings smiles to one another :) I have created an umbrella of solutions that arise from everyone’s #Uniqueness, delivering upon their vast benefit across the globe through #Unity of people. This is the reason why #PeopleAreTheSolution and why #WeAreTheMiracle in my eyes. Kudos Miracles' solutions include huge innovations in Ending Homelessness and Making Affordable, sustainable home ownership possible globally/Providing Personal Data Control/Personal and Systemic Economic Growth and Development/World Peace/Healthier Food/Environmental and Ecological Sustainability/Deployment of a Learning and Development Platform in collaboration with an education and content platform/Global People Centred Conference/Healthier Human Research/ and Increasing Resources for Good Causes amongst others. Current focus is upon Kudos Miracles Housing, a revolutionary move away from the old ‘housing ladder’ model and move to a more accessible route, truly enabling the cessation of global homelessness, making home ownership possible for all, in a model we prefer to term as the ‘housing escalator’.

What an outstanding implementation of our Bookings solution by City of Adelaide. The project commenced on 11th June, and just 13 weeks later, Bookable is live and delivering real benefits to both Council and its community!! We see numerous projects from other vendors take many months and even years (yes years) to go live....so much time, cost and lost opportunity, and certainly nothing to crow about! Bookable is designed specifically for the diversity of Local Government facilities and venues, and our implementation consultants are all experienced local government experts. We replace complexity with a purpose-built solution that is both easy to implement and easy to use. That's why Bookable is the clear market leading solution for Bookings and Events! #digitaltransformation #customerexperience #localgovernment

This is for my arts and cultural organizations. 🎭 🎨 🖼 Have you considered private events and venue rentals as a source of earned revenue? Last month in Florida, DeSantis cut $32 million in funding for the arts (see article in comments). As all arts and culture organizations navigate financial sustainability, exploring alternative revenue streams becomes crucial. Offering your venue for private events not only generates income but also fosters community engagement and introduces new audiences to your mission. Let's discuss how integrating private events and venue rentals can bolster your organization's financial health and community impact. Together, we can expand opportunities for your organization to thrive. Does your not-for-profit rent their venues for revenue driving events? #sales #revenue #artsandculture

Stop Working In Isolation! ❌ We're an event #community and by working together we can cut costs, make events more sustainable and elevate experiences. How? Let's talk before and after our events, sharing plans and strategising on set sharing and the big bits of #eventproduction that bust the budget and could be so much more cost-effective if only they were shared. Would you rather have a £50k set or contribute towards a £200k set? 🤔 #EventCommunity #BetterTogether #EventProduction #CostEfficiency

🌟 Lessons from Managing a Small Local Museum 🌟 As the sole member of staff at Congleton Museum, I wear many hats—curator, manager, marketer, event planner, and community liaison. It’s a rewarding challenge, and through my journey, I’ve learned a few key lessons that I believe could be valuable to anyone working in small teams or managing community-driven projects: Community is Everything 🤝 Small museums like ours thrive on community involvement. Local volunteers, partnerships with schools, and collaborations with heritage groups have all been vital to keeping Congleton's rich history alive. Don’t be afraid to reach out and build those local connections—they make a world of difference! One of our recent successful collabs has been with Congleton Bath House and Physic Garden, I'm excited to work with them again next Easter. Creativity Stretches Resources 🎨 Working with a limited budget has taught me to be resourceful. Whether it’s reimagining existing exhibits with a fresh perspective or leveraging social media to boost engagement, thinking outside the box can unlock hidden potential. Remember to find local businesses to help build your vision, they can sometimes be cheaper and offer a better service than the big bosses. Stay Adaptable 📈 No two days are the same when you’re the only staff member. Flexibility is key—one moment you’re updating the website, and the next, you’re guiding a school group through an exhibit, or through town in my case! Embrace the variety and use it as an opportunity to grow different skill sets and work with diverse communities. Celebrate Small Wins 🎉 In smaller operations, progress can feel slow at times. But every event, new exhibit, or successful partnership is a win worth celebrating. Those moments of success build momentum and keep the passion alive. For anyone out there managing a small museum or leading a small team—how do you manage the balance? I’d love to hear your insights and experiences! #MuseumManagement #LocalHistory #CommunityEngagement #SmallMuseums #HeritageSector #Leadership

When designing for the community, it's always best to engage the community. Today we continue our March social media series on ways to involve the public in the design process. From roads to buildings to community parks, great design happens when the locals who will use and frequent them are included in the conversation. Last week we covered Design Charettes. This week, it's the magical exchanging of ideas that happens in a World Café session. The purpose of a World Café exercise is to delve into a subject from various angles and to spur a diverse exchange of ideas. The creative and thoughtful ideas that a World Café exercise can generate are always impressive. Thinking of hosting a World Café event? Here's how to ensure it's a success! >> What Do You Want to Learn/Know? Prepare a set of questions on the topic at hand. >> Gather Your Participants: Bring together an enthusiastic group and create an inviting and inclusive atmosphere. The more diverse, the better! >> Break Into Small Groups: Divide the larger group into clusters of 4-5 individuals. >> Establish Table Hosts: Ask each small group to designate a "Table Host" who will deliver one of the questions your team has prepared in advance. Table Hosts should encourage creativity and openness, and take detailed notes. >> Rotate and Share: After 10 minutes of dialogue, all participants (except the Table Hosts) switch tables. Each host revisits the same question with the new group. Repeat this for 3-4 rotations! >> Reconvene as One: The small groups reconvene into one and further discussion ensues. >> Collect and Analyze: The engagement team gathers and summarizes all notes which are then passed along to the design team for thoughtful consideration. The connections that are made, and the energy shared in a World Café session, can be priceless. The simple act of engaging the community in the decision-making and design process creates ripples of positivity and empowers individuals to actively contribute to shaping their environment. It really is a win-win! Need a hand with community engagement? Reach out! #CommunityEngagement #CommunityVoices #Community #CommunityDesign #WorldCafe

#APTipTuesday - When negotiating space for your upcoming conference or gala, be as comprehensive as possible in identifying the for sure and likely space needs for the main sessions, reception(s), and smaller space needs such as staff office, volunteer room and green room for talent. Once a contract is negotiated and your event date gets closer, additional space requests will likely come with an additional space rental fee and/or be unavailable due to bookings by other groups at the venue.     While it can be challenging to anticipate all of your space needs 1-3 years out when negotiating a contract, reviewing contracted event space with your planning team prior to signing the contract can help ensure all your space needs are accommodated up front.    #AnnPlans #EventPlanningTips #ConferenceSuccess #MeetingSpaceStrategy #ProactivePlanning #SmoothConferences
