The other event I attended hosted by Midnight Rebels.
Midnight Rebels is a promotion company that hosts social events throughout
Washington D.C. The event itself was hosted at Heist, a local venue in the
Dupont Circle Area.
While attending this event, I asked
several organizers question about how they planned an executed this event. I
first asked the owner of the company what is needed to host a successful event.
His answer was trust. He explained that in promotion industry, trust is
critical factor. In order to obtain repeat business, venue owners must be
willing to work with such companies, and the only way to do so is to have a
trustful relationship. He said another aspect was to work with local
authorities. Any venue that serves alcohol is subject to strict local and
federal regulations. In order to be able to serve these drinks, the venue and
promotion company must follow laws in order to be able to host future events.
I also talked to members of the
security team, who explained the difficult aspects of his job. He said it was
his responsibility to always be cordial to guests, yet remaining authoritative.
He said at any moment something can erupt, so it is important for them to be
attentive. Furthermore, he explained that it was his responsibility to make
sure everyone is safe in the event of an emergency, so emergency equipment and
exits always had to be checked and in working order.
Attending this event was
interesting, as it allowed me to gain a new perspective about venues hosted at
clubs and bars.
