We've seen the success stories. Now tune in to what's often left unsaid: The Epic Failures. Hear the dark & harrowing tales from 3 Events Organisers (we're pretty certain these guys have made the news at some point) on how they've scuttled across the minefields, grazed some bullets, only to barely survive to tell the tale. Think Failure only favours the weak? No one's safe.Speakers1) Adam Piperdy, Head, Experience Management, Unearthed Productions | Radio Presenter with 987FMAdam started Unearthed Productions at 16 not knowing what would happen then and till today he is still figuring out what it means to create and own a successful event. He never believes in settling and constantly pushes the bar to bring event experiences to a new level and this validation was most-recently fulfilled when Unearthed took home the Gold award for "Best Event Agency" at the Marketing Events Awards 2017. From a technical background, Adam has dabbled into various creative forms such as DJing, presenting & design. He is currently also a co-presenter on 987FM, holding half the reigns to the morning show and credits his 20-hour days to the 3 cuppas that keeps him on his toes and sometimes, on the edge.2) Deryne Sim, Committee Member, Pink Dot | Legal AdvisorDeryne is a media and entertainment lawyer by day and an LGBT activist by nights and weekends. She has been a member of the Pink Dot SG organizing committee since 2013. Pink Dot is a movement which aims to promote understanding about LGBT people and the issues that they face in Singapore. She is also a contributor to "Same but Different", Singapore's first-ever legal guidebook for LGBT couples. 3) Lee Haoming, Head Strategist, Invade & Co-Founder, Artbox AsiaHaoming is the Head of Strategist at Invade and doubles up as co-founder of Artbox Asia, a creative retail space activation and events management company.
