Why should You be there?
Time is a currency you can only spend once and we want to make sure your time with us and ours with you is well spent. Here are five reasons why you should be at the #FanJam:
#5 — Be The Solution
With so many challenges to be solved surrounding the live-event-going experience, it’s easier to call out what’s broken than to actually solve it. This is your chance to play an active role in influencing those solutions. We believe that the only way we can truly solve a problem is to engage the customer in the problem solving process, and the customer here is YOU. Nothing is more exciting or more meaningful than being in the arena, driving things forward.
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” — Theodore Roosevelt
#4 — Get Inspired
Put a group of creative, diverse, and passionate people in a room for an entire day and you’ll invariably spark innovation. Serendipitous “eureka” moments are a conversation or a keystroke away. You’ll find inspiration in the cross-functional collaboration throughout the day, and given how intimate the event is (50–75 people), it’s easy to have meaningful conversations that are guaranteed to pique your interest and unleash your imagination.
“Innovation comes from people meeting up in the hallways or calling each other at 10:30 at night with a new idea, or because they realized something that shoots holes in how we’ve been thinking about a problem.” — Steve Jobs
#3 — Meet The Team
The #FanJam is a great opportunity to meet the people of Ticketmaster and American Express who are actively working on reshaping the future of the live event experience. We believe that the best innovation happens when people connect at a human level, and the #FanJam is a fantastic setting for that. Once you meet the team, you will feel the stoke!
#2 — Join The Team
It takes a special kind of talent to spend their Tuesday with a bunch of strangers to brainstorm product innovations that make the live event experience better. That’s the kind of talent we’re interested in and we have various opportunities where they can contribute. Who knows, we might be working together soon on some awesome products!
#1 — Have Fun!
By far the best reason for coming out to the #FanJam! We’re a fun bunch and like to connect with other creative people. The event is informal and laid back. There will be plenty of food for everyone. Just bring your jolly self and have a great time!
The registration page closes on May 25th. So sign up today! I hope to see you at the #FanJam in June. Let’s build amazing products together!
