He will take the stage amongst seven other speakers at Backstage Pass<\/a>, Peatix<\/a>‘s community event for organisers. In the lead up to Backstage Pass, William shares a little snippet into his thoughts on organising events from the ground-up in Singapore #HomeGrownSG.<\/p>\n

The best part about organising events in Singapore is<\/strong> that while you’ll never know who will come, you always get to meet awesome people<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The thorn in our flesh when organising events is<\/strong> the availability of space<\/em> but we nipped it in the bud through<\/strong> securing commitment from our venue sponsors months ahead.<\/em><\/p>\n
