I’m amazed at what attracts people to get together. To spend their money. To use their points. To invest their time. To share their passion. With friends. With strangers. With strange friends. But I may be more enthralled by the people who stage these events. The curators of these experiences. As one thought-provoking presenter prosed - are events an art or a business? I tend to think of the best event curators as both artisans, mad scientists and hustling entrepreneurs.https://acaweb.ca/en/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/01/andrei-stratu-576842-unsplash-356-200.png
