Although it requires a certain… je nais se qua to organise and host a MixingOut event, it’s probably not as difficult as you may think. In fact, we’ve made the whole process as simple as possible.
Yes, there are a few qualities needed in order to ensure a successful get-together. But otherwise anybody who loves going out, making new friends and having a good time can do it.
Still unsure whether you’ve got what it takes? Here’s a few things to consider when organising your own event with MixingOut.
Share the things you love
People have a much better time when whoever hosts an event has a genuine love for what they’re doing at the time. If leaping out of a plane isn’t your idea of fun, don’t organise a parachute jump for the sake of attracting more members.
Do something you truly enjoy, this is what resinates with other people the most. After all, sharing the things you love is the best way of getting to know people.
Nervous? No biggie!
If you’re worried about confidence (or a lack thereof)getting in the way of hosting an event then welcome to club! In fact, we’d consider it a little strange if you didn’t feel a little nervous – especially when it’s your first time. The most important thing to remember is everybody else in attendance will probably be as nervous as you are… and once those initial feelings of nerves are dealt with (openly shared/copious amounts of drink) then everything will fall into place.
You don’t need a qualification in events planning to organise a successful get-together, just being genuinely interested in meeting new people and having a good time is all that really matters.
Your city, your rules
We do our best to keep everybody up to date with local goings on, but nobody knows your city better than you do (unless you’re new in town but we’ll get to that in a second). Use what you know about the places you’ve already visited to come up with an idea for your next event.
Alternatively, if you’ve just moved and don’t know the city too well, propose a ‘get to know the city’ type of event and invite people to show you around. This could be fun, useful, and interesting way of meeting new people whilst getting to know your new home.
