We have all seen memes that said that people want AI to automate the heavy burden tasks, and let copywriting be left to humans. At Spalba we are pushing the boundaries of tech to do just that. Ideation, building client decks and all the thinking remains with event planners and sales executives, while Spalba helps bring it to life with the click of a few buttons. Decision-making of the final venue still remains with clients and event planners, while Spalba just makes venue discovery easy. End of the day, all we want is to see event planning not be among the top 5 stressful jobs year after year.

Ever been nervous about walking into a room full of strangers? That was me at Wyld's first event w/ Third Wave Coffee- a latte-making workshop. Coffee lover? Check. Social butterfly? Not so much. I took a step forward and initiated a conversation with, "I love coffee." That simple statement broke the ice, and from that moment on, the conversations flowed effortlessly. What happened next was mind-blowing: ✔ Conversations flowed faster than espresso ✔ Strangers became potential friends ✔ My coffee obsession found its tribe ✔ Time flew by (fueled by caffeine, obviously) ✔ Plans for future meetups started brewing The coolest part? Watching a community form right before my eyes. This experience reminded me that community building starts with taking that first step, and being open to new connections. It's about creating spaces where people feel welcome and valued, and where endless conversations can thrive. What's your go-to conversation starter? #communitybuilding #networking #coffeelovers #wyld #thirdwave

I was listening to the Crucible Moment's episode of Eventbrite by Sequoia Capital and there was a very interesting bit that is mentioned in passing but I thinks it's actually really important. Julia Hartz, CEO, says "We had completed a #research project looking at the biggest customer-value segments on the platform. We had been so focused on this certain music customer that we had really lost perspective as to who was driving the greatest value on the platform. This #research project revealed this horizontal segment of the frequent creator—a power user, if you will. And what we realized is that this user was using Eventbrite, even though the Eventbrite platform was a pretty crummy experience for somebody who was hosting frequent events. So we saw a high-value segment with a great opportunity to improve the product experience and the platform to meet their needs. We simplified our objectives for the year. We reduced some of the cost in the business, and we entered 2020 with a glint of optimism." Sequoia has a page for each episode (https://lnkd.in/giBKNFWr) and in it they have key lessons but they are missing the one about research. They have "Resilience is rooted in customer obsession" but a lot of people are going to read that and not think about doing customer research. Being intentional about doing research and recognizing that you don't know what you don't know is how you'll discover the insights that will save your company in a crucible moment. If you want to talk more about how to do it, please DM me!

I'm encouraged to see Events.com's recent move to go public on the NYSE through its merger with Concord Acquisition Corp II. This milestone is a testament to the resilience, innovation and growth potential within the event management sector. For Xcyte Digital Corporation (XCYT:TSXV), this development is particularly significant. It highlights the growing importance of digital solutions and Artificial Intelligence-driven personalization in transforming how events are managed and experienced. As a company dedicated to providing innovative digital solutions, we see this as a great testament for the potential to further integrate technology into the event space, enhancing engagement and reach. This move not only strengthens our industry but also opens up new avenues for collaboration and growth pushing the boundaries of what's possible in digital experiences and event management. Here's to embracing innovation and driving the future of our industry together. https://lnkd.in/dtcGkNWn Nikhil T. Sophic Capital Inc.
