Congrats! Hours staring at screens, late nights answering emails, worsening dark circles… You’ve now made it.
But… To make your Daydream the best event possible, here are THE THREE LAWS for Organizers™.
We all know that one barista or server. Or ridiculously extroverted person. Today, YOU are them.
Put their needs above yours. Get to know at least 10 new people. Constantly ask for their progress.
You may ask: “How would I start a convo without being weird?” Don’t worry, I gotchu. ✨ Here are some ideas:
You know that awkward moment when someone you want to talk to is glued to their phone?
Yes. Exactly. Participants need to feel like you’re approachable. So… DO NOT use your phone in front of them. Or any electronics (laptops, Ipad, etc.) It makes you look busy or unavailable or worse– uninterested.
Run to the washrooms. Hide behind a table. I don’t care. PHONES in POCKETS. Always.
You’re human. You will burn out. Take 10 min breaks in the organizer’s room, sleep 4-8 hours if it’s a 24 hour event.
The event depends on you running smoothly. But no one’s Superman. We need you rested and ready. Your teammates have your back.
