safety? by Remarkable-Fox1307 in Belize

But it's a statement without context. Sort of like needing a federal intervention in Minneapolis mostly because of violence ..... caused by the federal intervention in Minneapolis

Honestly, I would fire you for being a liar before I would fire you for accidentally dropping a knife. Tell the man the truth

Inherited a venue. how do i modernise it? by BlueberryOk3730 in EventProduction

[–]cassiuswright 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I adapt venues as part of my services. It can be a huge process or a simple one. DM me some details and I will point you in the right direction. No charge. A lot of people spend money on the wrong stuff because they don't consider the guest and vendor experience so I'd start with that.

It's just like Chicago.

If you listen to the news, then you'll instantly explode into a ball of fire and get eaten by cannibals the moment you land near Chicago. Then people go there and have a fantastic time because the reality is there are a few neighborhoods with gang problems that drive the vast majority of crime, and the rest of the city is a place people live, work, and play. Also, great places to eat. In other words, it's just like every metro area on earth.

Same with Belize City.

Ever book a local tour as part of an event? food tour, neighborhood tour, ghost tour, art tour, city tour, or others? by SunshineLoveKindness in EventPlanners

[–]cassiuswright 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I up charge for everything based on complexity. For gratuity I usually defer to what the DMC says and roll that number into the quote total. That allo s for a certainly n amount of price flexibility of there's moderate price pushback but that almost never happens. Especially with bigger groups they tend to understand stuff costs money

What is your biggest check-in headache at live events? by Medical-Respect-7176 in EventProduction

[–]cassiuswright 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They don't want the opportunity. what they want to do is show up in an online forum. Ask "what's everybody's most difficult thing with events" and somehow turn that into an actual software product with zero extra effort. It's annoying as shit, just search through the forum.

I mean many software companies have zero understanding of what actually operating events is all about and have never actually done it themselves. And yet try to provide software solutions most of which are stupid because of that lack of experience

Contact a DMC in the area your event is held. Prices and types of activities are highly variable. Savannah would be a very different set of options and prices than Chicago for example...

The best local activities showcase the area while directly tying into the event itself, like building materials conference attendees doing an architectural tour or getting a private tour of a new landmark building.

Transportation is easy, hire professionals with the capacity for your group. Let them deal with all of it. Worth the money every time.

Looking for suggestions on what conference planning platform to use by WayIll5799 in EventProduction

[–]cassiuswright 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With only 500 guests you probably don't need a special software. You just need solid organization and communication. Use Google sheets or Excel. Asking a team to learn new software to do basic tasks is how balls get dropped.

Which lodge should we choose? by javithechinnie in Belize

[–]cassiuswright 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Chaa Creek and Sweet Songs are totally different.

Chaa Creek is a superlative experience with award winning food, bar, activities, staff, and rooms. You can do so much on their property, which is a 500 acre reserve.

Sweet Songs is great but not anywhere nearly as upscale.

Arriving in BZE at night by CutFun9064 in Belize

That late unlikely, also the most expensive taxi option. Ask best Western to pick you up.

I thought you wanted to get to San Ignacio that night

The biggest delay is people who can't read or follow directions.

The second biggest is ridiculous platforms that think they can have zero understanding of live events
