Key differences between pre vs. post Pandemic ITTDMY series
  • Public venue, instead of merely online or private venues.
  • Curated vendors and sponsors, instead of free-for-all / open-for-application.
  • Open to the general public, instead of ethnolinguistic marketing: EN & MS
  • Paid social media & full-funnel digital marketing, for target audience saturation.
  • Years-long build-up: small meetups over the years, cascading into one big event.
