Adrian Remzi- Blog #3

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.
