Refresh Events encourages collaborative partnerships, fosters education at all skill levels and creates networking opportunities within the Toronto interactive community.
In light of Dan Hocking’s post yesterday about charging registration fees to reduce event no-shows (and Joseph Thornley’s post as well) or more specifically, @alkerton’s comment, I wanted to post some additional thoughts about why we are considering such a move, and where the money would go.

Our ignite format has been wildly successful, and we certainly won’t be eliminating it in the near future. However, in an effort to streamline this aspect of our monthly gatherings, we are implementing a few small but significant changes.

Joseph Thornley of Thornley Fallis fame posted something very interesting this morning about charging for attendance to Third Tuesday, and as an event organizer I wanted to add my thoughts via a blog post.

I was talking to Justin’s daughter on the phone a few weeks ago. Rebekkah’s three, and has just reached that marvelous stage when her vocabulary has exploded but she hasn’t developed self-censoring filters yet. She just speaks—or sings—whatever comes to her mind.
When I asked her what she was doing, she said she was walking around the house and looking out the windows. I tried to elicit more conversation out of her but she continued to walk and talk without any direction. It suddenly struck me that to her, you don’t need a reason to have a conversation with someone.
