Hosts: David Adler, Beth Kormanik
Guest: Sandy Safi

In this episode of GatherGeeks, Beth Kormanik, executive editor of BizBash, and David Adler, C.E.O. of BizBash, sit down with Sandy Safi, the director of development for Dîner en Blanc International—massive pop-up dinners that now take place at cities across the globe. Safi shares the origin of the concept, how the event changed after moving from Paris to New York City, and why the night turns every attendee into an event designer. She explains how organizers ensure a good experience for all 170,000 attendees, how they deal with copycat events and weather issues, and what the economic impact is for the local community. This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking tips for dealing with logistics-heavy events and other ambitious gatherings.
