The Nest - 26 June 2024

Key Points:
Introduction: The focus is on camp building, food supply, organizing camps, and ticket sales.
Food and Food Supply:
Two main food options: food vendors with local, organic, vegan, and vegetarian options at affordable rates, and community kitchens.
Fresh delivery of veggies and fruits from local farmers will be available, coordinated through a spreadsheet system.
Camp Grouping and Organization:
Proposal to group camps into "neighborhoods" based on themes like psychology, arts, forest, etc., to make it easier for participants to choose.
The idea is to reduce the overwhelming number of camp options and improve the participant experience.
Camp Introductions and Support:
- Introduction of new team members supporting the event: welcome to Nika!
- Encouragement for camps to communicate their needs and merge if necessary to ensure financial viability and better organization.
Ticket Sales Strategy:
- Current ticket sales are lower than expected, prompting a discussion on introducing open tickets.
- Open tickets would allow participants to join without committing to a specific camp initially, with the option to affiliate with camps later.
- Concerns about maintaining the camp culture and financial dynamics with open tickets.
Feedback and Suggestions:
- Suggestions from camp leaders include creating more visual content, short videos, and leveraging influencer marketing.
- Proposals for podcasts and interviews to promote the Gathering of Tribes and attract more participants.
- Emphasis on the importance of clear communication and collaboration among camp leaders and organizers.
