Give Them FOMO: How to Create Events People Don’t Want to Miss (Workshop)

How to Create Events People Can’t Stop Talking About & Don’t Want to Miss

Learn to build hype, drive attendance and create experiences people actually remember.

Why do some events feel like the place everyone has to be, while others struggle to get people through the door?

Give Them FOMO is a fast-paced, practical discussion designed for musicians, DJs, promoters, venues, marketers and anyone responsible for getting people excited about an event. You’ll learn simple, realistic techniques that can make your events more engaging, improve the attendee experience and turn one-time guests into people who keep coming back.

Leading the conversation is Major Vibes, a Lancaster-based DJ and certified musical tastemaker who has spent more than a decade building unforgettable dance floors at Tellus360. From long-running, must-see residencies to creative theme nights, Vibes has developed a reputation for creating events that feel distinct, memorable and completely his own. His approach goes beyond simply playing great music. It’s about creating an experience, building a community and giving people a reason to say, “I can’t miss the next one.”

The session will explore how to create stronger event concepts, build anticipation before doors open, give attendees memorable moments while they’re there, use social media and word-of-mouth more effectively, and create the kind of energy that keeps people talking long after the event is over.

The panel will be moderated by Joe Caviston, the mind behind the Electric City Music Conference, Screaming Emo Night and a variety of successful theme nights and live entertainment concepts. Together, Caviston and Major Vibes will share practical ideas, lessons learned and strategies that attendees can start putting to work immediately.

Whether you’re trying to pack a venue, grow a recurring night, promote your band, launch a new event concept or simply make the experience better for the people already showing up, Give Them FOMO will help you think differently about what makes an event something people want to attend instead of something they’re simply invited to.
