MPI Tennessee Chapter’s Post

It comes but once a year, not Christmas silly - the annual eoa conference of course! While it technically does not begin until tomorrow, you've got to get packed and get there - and you've got to remember to pack the essentials!* This time last year I had my mind doubly blown: 1) the conference itself is inspiring, knowledge packed, accessible, energising, community-feeling, full of outstanding people and peers. 2) I was fortunate enough to be awarded this beauty 👇 which has really dialled me up to 11 and given me the confidence to keep on learning from and giving back to the EO community. I'm again so lucky to be going with three colleagues of such epic expertise: Catherine Carlton, Gavin Poole and George Demirev, to represent Stephens Scown. If you want to talk to any of us, we love to chat and we'd love to know about the journey for you and your business 👋 I so can't wait to catch-up again with everyone I met last year, including the phenomenal humans at the eoa - you know who you are...it's all of you - and to meet a whole heap of new people. See you all in Telford 😁 #EmployeeOwnership #EO #BusinessOwners #SuccessionPlanning *Guaranteed I've forgotten something essential - will trade phone charger for that thing if someone else has two.

If you haven't got your tickets for TPC2024 1/2 get buying. I love that this day is going to be leaning into revenues as for most of my ticketing career I have been all about how venues make more money, that started off with QuayTickets many years ago and today with Secure My Booking. It's why I love products that help venues make more money (other than SMB) you have crowdEngage helping venues sell add-on products at the right time which isn't always when you buy tickets (who really wants to think about it they want to drink or if they need carparking months before the show). You have Vatic who can help sell tickets at the right price, what's the right price? the price people want to pay which is often more than we in the industry think people will pay as we have too much emotion in pricing. But also sometimes the right price is lower depending on many factors. Sometimes you have to take a leap of faith and let data and systems take a lead on increasing ticket revenues. Finally like Oprah's favourite things I love what Line-Up are doing with post purchase up-sales. SMB sits well just as a person decides if those more expensive seats pushed up that order cost more than expected the peace of mind we offer can get them over the line to pay but do you really need that ice-cream up sale at that point or is it best to not add anymore cost to the order and push those up-sales when they are more appropriate, that's what can be done with Line-Up in a seamless way. All of the above are my personal "endorsements" (I sound like a tiktok influencer) based on what I have seen of their software/business but also based on the people leading the businesses as I think you always get more out of working with a company when the people running the businesses are passionate about what they do. #ticketing #revenue #passion #artsandculture #artsandentertainment

𝐌𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐲𝐬𝐢𝐚 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐒𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐢𝐭 2024: 𝐀 𝐂𝐨𝐫𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐆𝐞𝐧 𝐙 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 Honestly, when MLS 2024 became my project, I had so many mixed feelings. The core team was way smaller this time, and I couldn’t help but wonder—are we actually going to pull this off? Would it be a success, or would this just end up overwhelming me? From handling marketing to even closing sales, managing HRDC and non-HRDC registrations, coordinating booth exhibitors, assisting with on-site operations & servicing clients — it felt like I was wearing too many hats and there were many moments where my brain just couldn't compute. Sometimes, we get thrown into things that push us out of our comfort zones or onto projects we might not enjoy. But it’s in those moments that we grow the most, even if we don’t realize it at the time. Through all the challenges and long hours, I can’t say I did this alone. Steven Tan, Marissa Lau, Stacy Yeow, Roshan Thiran, Hui Ming Ang & Azril Aswad Rosli — you guys were the backbone of this entire event. Your support kept me going when I felt like I couldn’t give anymore. I owe so much to you all for showing me what it means to push through even the toughest of days. To be real, I wasn’t feeling my best at the start of the day, but somehow, I managed to power through. Seeing everything come together, watching participants engaged, and knowing the event was a success... it was beyond worth it. I hope everyone who attended walked away inspired by the amazing insights from both local and global speakers. And hey, if you’re curious to see a behind-the-scenes look at how everything came together from my perspective, check out my scuffed vlog! https://lnkd.in/g_mASV_t It’s not perfect, but it's real.
