Initiatives

Ideas members turned into something real

Each initiative started as one person's idea. Members research it, build a team, take responsibility and improve through feedback.

  2. Teamwork
  3. Leadership

  5. Belonging

How a night comes together

  1. Purpose
  2. Audience
  3. Venue
  4. Promotion
  5. Guest experience
  6. Review

…and the review feeds the next night.

  1. The World Cup final playing on an outdoor screen between the pine trees, flags strung overhead

    First event

    The World Cup final

    A big screen among the pine trees, string lights, live music and a crowd watching together.

  2. Men in fezzes at a craft table

    Second event

    Back to childhood

    A night that took people back to their childhood, with old-fashioned sweets, objects and traditions.

  3. A PlayStation 2 console and controller

    Third event

    Back to 2005

    A cyber café, a PlayStation 2, Monopoly, foosball and a paper computer desktop, then dancing until late.

The last step of every night

Every event ends with feedback

Before guests head home, they are asked what worked and what didn't. The team takes those answers into planning the next night.

Between the big moments
