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.
