Hosts: David Adler, Beth Kormanik
Guest: Sandy Safi
In this episode of GatherGeeks, Beth Kormanik, executive editor of
BizBash, and David Adler, C.E.O. of BizBash, sit down with Sandy
Safi, the director of development for Dîner en Blanc
International—massive pop-up dinners that now take place at cities
across the globe. Safi shares the origin of the concept, how the
event changed after moving from Paris to New York City, and why the
night turns every attendee into an event designer. She explains how
organizers ensure a good experience for all 170,000 attendees, how
they deal with copycat events and weather issues, and what the
economic impact is for the local community. This episode is a
must-listen for anyone seeking tips for dealing with
logistics-heavy events and other ambitious gatherings.
