Thanks @Edwin for chipping in and explaining the situation more eloquently than I ever could (see the number of likes on your post).
Over the 2-3 days in London this year you could actually see the difference between long time .uk domain investor and international .com investors. Or if you like the multi millionaire movers and shakers (Yue Dai or Braden Pollock) which seems to be the perceived definition of success here?
I guess the trick is to try and cater for everyone over the two days:
Day 1 - Have an after party with a free bar in Room 23 where it’s even open to Acorn members that didn’t go to the conference during the day. You could even have a live auction at about 5pm that day to encourage people to turn up.
Day 2 - On the second day you have an exclusive dinner for your top paying sponsors and invited international guests. Have your awards and photos opportunities then.
That way no one is left out and there is something for everyone. Just a thought.
Thank you, Andrew.
Next year, there is a scheduled Awards/Gala event scheduled for the first day, which falls on August 20th. Location undecided yet (the funding will be a major factor here). Events pros of this level (whom I am consulting with) are all unanimous - we have to do the most important part (such as gala/awards) in the evening of day 1.
The exclusive dinner is planned on the day 3 (August 22nd). Currently the plan is to have it on one of the City Cruises ships, exclusively secured for us (planning phase - lots of unknow chess pieces here).
The evening of day 2: networking drinks and party.
