Backstage Pass is a community event for organisers and people who make events possible!

Our first session was a blast - Kristine Lauria gave noteworthy pointers on reaching out to our audience. And we've got our second session officially installed on the topic: "Crazy Concepts - From Ideation to Execution".

Our lovely crazy speakers

Jillian Yue of Le Gluttony

Le Gluttony acted as a breakthrough opportunity for local food entrepreneurs, film makers and musicians over two emotionally charged nights at the Singapore Night Festival. How did Jillian pull off the logistics? What are her tricks when it comes to working with multiple chefs, bands and film makers? And why did she name her market after a sin? She'll reveal the secret sauce of her crazy concepts!

Florian Cornu of Secret Cooks Club

Secret Cooks Club, believe it or not, has served meals in a swimming pool, on a naked woman, to suit the palate of a person's DNA, and more. Outrageous concepts? Yes. Memorably intriguing? Most definitely! How does Florian keep his event fresh with new and varying concepts? He serves up an entree into his creative juices, sharing with us his conceptualisation of crazy ideas to whet his audience's appetites.

Khee Shihui of OH! Open House 2013

Shihui left her high-powered career to join OH! Open House, organising art walkabouts in local neighbourhoods, where works of emerging local artists were placed in homes and offices. Shihui tackled the melee of acquiring locales to host art in, partnering artists, publicising the event and managing volunteers. It sure was a massive project to handle! We'll hear about how she managed to pull it all off into a local art feast for the eyes.

FAQ

• Why don't you make the event free?
  We believe in delivering great value and price tickets at a reasonable $15. We serve dinner and drinks (including wine). That said, the ticket is not meant to be a barrier - if you're a student or a member of the community who cannot afford that price point, please contact us.
• Vegetarian or halal food?
  Yes! Please let us know in advance and we'll make sure we cater to your requirement.
• I'm not an "event organiser"
  What we're doing is building a supportive community for events of all kinds to blossom in Singapore. We bring you together in-person to learn, to befriend and support each other and to have fun. So yes, regardless of why you're interested, you're welcome to join us!
