James,
Certainly understand your frustration with the new venue and the last event. I more than most understand that we have a few things to rectify before next time, especially the sound. That said, I am really happy with the speakers’ performance. When you ask small business to speak and they do so from their experience, it is not going to be something that represents everyone, but as it is their experience, that in itself is interesting to me (and hopefully others).

I am sorry that you did not enjoy it as much as previous events, and as always, we will be trying our best to ensure that we can provide a great venue for conversation and discussion.

Hope to see you at the next one.

@Fridley

I have to disagree. I thought the new format provided less structure, a less focused and prepared panel, less insightful discussion and more voice for opinionated crowd interjection. I do agree that crowd participation is a good thing but it needs to be well managed and structured.

Based on the strength of the last few events I invited several business colleagues along and was a little embarrassed and had to do some explaining about why the structure invoked a less quality event this time.

Thanks, hopefully we can return to a more tried and tested format for this type of discussion event.

Cheers for your support Glen. Hard to believe the next #digicitz event is our 6th already. Time is flying by. We are hoping that the new venue will provide a more professional space, that allows for more people to attend, and the opportunity for food.

As for the ticket charges, #digicitz has not been setup to make money, thus the nominal fee that we charge is more to ensure that people who get tickets actually show up on the night. The great side benefit is that we have been donating 50% of the door charge to a charity.

We created the multiple and group tickets to enable people to spread the word and bring in people who might not have attended similar events before, or are outside our current sphere of contact. Hope you find these options useful, and as we grow and develop, we look forward to hearing from those attending our events concerning how we could improve.

Cheers

Excellent topic! You have to let DC supporters know how the ticketing and location changes affect numbers/participation, too. DC is an interesting experiment in itself.
