This was my favourite interview so far and I think you will really like it! Will Kunhardt is a fascinating guy…. A classically trained violinist who wanted to be a conductor and got his start by putting on his own concerts instead of waiting to he hired. Will parlayed that into founding his own Orchestra (called the Arensky Chamber Orchestra) then co founding a company to run a series of epic ‘Immersive Experiences’ in London, including one coming up in December 2018 called The Great Christmas Feast..a ‘secret dining experience’ experience based around Charles Dickens ‘Christmas Carol.’ We talk a lot about how Will still remains creative and works as a musician and composer while retaining full control over his creations and running a profit making business. On the interview we talk about: How Will got his start as a classical music conductor by putting on his own events How becoming a conductor is more competitive than becoming a premiership footballer How Beethoven, Mozart and Wagner were hardcore promoters and hustlers How Will founded his own orchestra How Will had to get good at getting Government arts funding for his orchestra to survive How he co founded an events company The Lost Estate to put on immersive experiences, including The Great Masked Ball, based around Swan Lake How Will promoted their events almost exclusively using Facebook ads, which he taught himself despite not being a Facebook user. How the ‘Immersive Experience’ events category is a huge and growing one The influence of the ‘Four Hour Work Week’ book by Tim Ferriss on both our businesses How Dickens ‘The Christmas Carol’ essentially rebooked Christmas and gave us many of the traditions we still enjoy today The level of analysis Wil does for his events. Thinking at every stage how will this make the attendee feel. Gary Vaynerchuks phrase ‘Clouds and Dirt’....how it’s important to get into the high level vision to produce something amazing, while still getting into the nitty gritty logistics to make an event work   I hope you enjoyed the podcast as much as I enjoyed talking to Will and if you did please leave us an iTunes review it really means a lot to us !

It’s something every event producer thinks at one time….  “I’d love to sell my event.” But is it even possible, and who would buy your event?

Stuart runs a series of entrepreneurial retreats in cool locations called coworkation and just ran his first conference Freedom X Fest in the Spanish Pyrenees which lasted 6 days and had over 400 attendees! Stuart came to Europe from Australia as a backpacker and started off in Spain where he had a lot of adventures; from turning his apartment into a ‘pop up hostel’ to running pub crawls then guided trips to Oktoberfest amongst other destinations. Stuart focussed on getting a good database of companies selling products to the digital nomad/location independent community in order to get them to co promote his events and/or become sponsors. Stuart maintains an active Facebook page which has over 18,000 likes and shares a lot of photos and content there to build interest in his events. He talked about how he uses YouTube and Instagram to promote his events as the cool locations lend themselves well to this type of visual marketing.

I was lucky enough to be interviewed on Chris’s podcast so it’s great to get him on ours. We are both part of an entrepreneurs group called the ‘DC’ and have met in person a few times but I didn’t know much about his background so it was cool to dig in and talk about his background and how it led to his events. Chris ran charity projects in Costa Rica, Peru and Africa where he got a taste for running live events. This led him to run ‘The Entrepreneur House’, a productivity focused residential retreat in multiple cities including Barcelona and Chiang Mai. Chris started off running his events over two months which is a pretty herculean feat!... but has now reduced it down to 10 days. Chris travels full time with is girlfriend although he likes to stay in one place for several months at a time and told me the term ‘slowmad’ which I hadn’t heard before to describe this lifestyle. Chris is a Podcasting machine and he’s produced close to 400 podcast episodes that I can find! Podcasting is a major sales funnel for his events but we discussed about how this is a long term proposition and you need to really enjoy it. The second major sales funnel is posting in forms and groups that Chris is a part of. Chris shares his content widely on social media (Reddit, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram) and this also helps with attendees but no one platform worked especially well for him. Along with the events Chris runs productivity coaching and the podcast also helps him get new clients for this. In terms of the logistics of the events Chris makes it a super casual format with fixed sessions then free time in between and the attendees often organise trips etc by themselves. Chris gets involved to make sure everyone is having a good time and to keep the group dynamic good, although with the kind of people he attracts it’s always a friendly crowd.

On this week's episode of ‘The Events Podcast’ I spoke with Joe Glover from The Marketing Meetup and it was a really interesting chat. Joe started off doing marketing for the ‘Business of Software Conference’, which is a big deal for the SaaS community, where he ran the marketing for the UK and USA conferences. They were lucky in that one of the founders was Joel Spolsky who already had a huge audience and this always makes promoting an event 10x easier. Their main marketing method they used was recorded videos of all the speakers at the conference and releasing them gradually throughout the year, with email opt in (using Wistia). Once they had email addresses they then marketed the conference via an email sequence. We discussed event location and how they went for the approach of keeping the same venue so it had a familiar homely feel that attendees wanted to make a regular part of their year. I have mixed feelings on this as sometimes a new venue or new city each year keeps the conference feeling fresh. Moving on Joe founded The Marketing Meetup as an event in Cambridge to meet other marketers and had 30 people to the first event. He promotes with Meetup.com and LinkedIn (adding friend requests). Joe monetises the event with sponsors,. He drew up a list of companies, then approached the CEO (again on LinkedIn). He made the events monthly and holds the event at a sponsors offices so no fees and another sponsor pays for drinks. He has a Facebook community which he has to approve members and he finds this is really useful. Joe has now started a ‘franchise’ model for other cities where other people run the events and find the sponsors and keep 70% of the revenue. ALso rally interesting that Joe does all this while working a full time job I hope you enjoyed the podcast and if you did please leave us an iTunes review it really means a lot to us !

It was a really interesting chat and relevant both to teachers and employees looking to start speaking at conferences and running their own events. Adam started as PE Teacher in the UK before heading off for some world travels and working in International Schools in Shanghai and Saudi Arabia. Adam’s main advice for teachers and others looking to speak at conferences is to build a solid online presence and start sharing content, specifically posting all your presentations on Twitter and your blog. Also all his blog posts have a ‘call to action’ where he looks to get an email address, for example buy giving away an eBook or some content. Also we discussed about not being greedy up front :) Adam picked the conferences he wanted to visit as an attendee anyway, then asked to speak. Only later did he ask for expenses or a fee, sometimes on his second or third visit to the conference. I can’t emphasise this enough for new speakers…. ‘Don’t ask for money until you really deserve it!’ Also at the event help out with everything! The organizer will love you and be MUCH more likely to work with you in the future. I hope you enjoyed the podcast and if you did please leave us an iTunes review it means a lot! You can email me at dan@eventsframe.com or get in touch with me via dantaylor.me More info about Adam is below and if you’re a school looking to turbo charge the use of technology in your pE department he’d love to her from you Adam is a physical educator originally from England, but has taught in the UK, China and Saudi Arabia across all age groups. He has presented at a number of conferences around the world sharing his love of physical education and meaningful technology to educators from all subjects. When Adam is not teaching he enjoys collaborating on projects with practitioners from across the globe and sharing his knowledge, via his blog or social media. Adam is a Google Certified Educator, Google Innovator, Google Trainer and Apple Teacher. He has a passion to use his knowledge to make life easier, by working smarter, not harder.
