Everyone — including you! — should host more events (with Nick Gray)
Clearer Thinking with Spencer Greenberg
Tuesday wed and end early in 2hr
Hosting events on Tuesday and Wednesday nights generally increases attendance when participants are given two to three weeks' notice. A two-hour duration for these events is effective, as it encourages engagement without overstaying interest. Ending events on a high note is crucial; rather than letting gatherings fizzle out, establish a clear endpoint by setting expectations, providing a schedule, and signaling a last call before concluding. This approach allows guests to leave without the social pressure of being the first to go. Wrapping up at the designated end time, while also offering a post-event alternative such as a nearby bar for continued socializing, enhances guest satisfaction and increases the likelihood of their return for future events. Regularly hosting events cultivates routine and strengthens social connections, making it a valuable practice for hosts.
