ULI San Francisco’s Post

For those who have been connected with my for several years, you may recall the 𝐋𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 we ran on some interesting topics. One of the challenges we had at the time was to get enough participation to keep the Live Events going... it therefore stalled :-( You would expect people and companies want exposure to present their thinking on how they can help the glass container industry... but getting participation was difficult... maybe a little 'stage fright'? Not sure... 𝐀𝐍𝐘𝐖𝐀𝐘, 𝐈 𝐀𝐌 𝐎𝐏𝐄𝐍𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐈𝐓 𝐔𝐏 𝐀𝐆𝐀𝐈𝐍 𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐀𝐍𝐘 𝐍𝐄𝐖𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐄𝐑𝐒... If you want to see how the events ran before then I will put a few links in the comments below for you to 𝐰𝐚𝐭𝐜𝐡 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐬𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐝 𝐨𝐧 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐓𝐮𝐛𝐞. There was also a live event I did at the Glassman Exhibition/Conference, putting people on the spot at their very own exhibition stands. I will post that somewhere in the comments later too. That should give you an idea of how things are run. The idea is to get your ideas out to the glass community. 𝑷𝒍𝒆𝒂𝒔𝒆 𝒍𝒆𝒕 𝒎𝒆 𝒌𝒏𝒐𝒘 𝒊𝐟 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒊𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒅 𝒕𝒐 𝒑𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝒐𝒏 𝒐𝒏𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒔𝒆 𝑳𝒊𝒗𝒆 𝑬𝒗𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒔.

GIVE THE SAME ENERGY IF NOT MORE TO THAT VIRTUAL EVENT.✅ A virtual event is somewhat similar to a physical event because you have guest speakers, audience and of course the host/moderator. Interestingly there's a venue which is the online space and there's also an agenda which is the reason for the gathering in the first place. The only thing that differentiates a virtual event from a physical one is in the two words virtual and physical. At a virtual event there's no physical contact and depending on the platform used one might not get to see the people present but only hear them when they speak. However, like every event it deserves to go seamlessly! As a master of ceremonies(MC), I prepare for virtual events as I would for physical ones. I script my intro, body and outro. I imagine the event in my mind, think of possible glitches so I can stay afloat and communicate with my clients effectively on the results that they want from the event. You might wonder ah an all this for a virtual event?😁 Well, yes! All this and more is what I bring to the table to ensure a smooth flow at every event that I either host, co-host or moderate. It's always a pleasure to execute every job with steeze, excellence and lest I forget demure.🤭 For the clients that have trusted me so far I say thank you. For the ones that are still contemplating whether to request my service or not, a trial will convince you.👍 Till we meet again via this space or in person☺️ Love and Light❤️⠀ ⠀ From yours truly,⠀ ⠀ Finest Female Host ⠀ Patricia Bassey.⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #patriciabassey #brandpromotion #oaptricia #Journalist #Eventhost #Masterofceremonies #webinarmoderator #triciasplace #politics #voiceoverartist #eventhostinabuja #tech #nigeria #virtualevent #globalbrand

Themes can transform any gathering, whether a corporate conference, a lively banquet, or an opening reception into a vibrant, engaging spectacle. Captivating your audience, creating plenty of photo opportunities, and fostering participation, there are just so many things you can couple up with the theme idea. With the right theme, your event won’t just be attended — it will be remembered, talked about, and celebrated for years to come. On that note, here’s a list of 100 event theme ideas to tie all your event goals together and achieve them like a pro. https://lnkd.in/gM6GbF9K

It was an honor and pleasure to work on these audits for LEAF Global Arts Retreat and the 2023 Colorado Creative Industries Summit. The reason I love doing this work with Majestic Collaborations is the juicey overlaps of The of Mass Gatherings four pillars: accessibility, safety, sustainability and community engagement. These overlaps help frame how I look at the overarching questions for these events: who are you accessible to, what is working and what are the next possible steps to make your event more accessible, user friendly, and inclusive. In my mind, accessibility and community engagement go hand in hand, making your events more accessible means you can engage more people in your community. Accessibility and safety go hand-in-hand as well, your event can not be truly safe, unless it is safe fore everyone. So your safety plans need to address how to keep people with mobility, hearing, vision and cognitive disabilities safe. I like to say, build your safety plan around the specific needs of people with disabilities and your plan is 80% done. Accessibility and sustainability...there are many ways to think about this. One is just what do we need to sustain the people who come to our events and work at our events? Another, how do we build this temporary city (what festivals are) that allows for easy, safe and engaged navigation that respects the land the events is on. And then just how do we build in accessibility and sustainability from the beginning, from the first time we go to make a plan for this year's event, instead of either ever being an after thought? Thank you Performing Arts Readiness program for supporting this work and Majestic Collaborations giving me the opportunity to do this deep and rich work. #accessibility #safety
