I can see that working, what is it you need from the mayor, though? Like how do they make it easier?
The thing with checkinwith app is good to get people accounts but I've yet to see much retention there, I've even offered curation work if they were to follow the accounts they create so I can go through the list when they post, but it doesn't seem like many if any do, I just earlier sent eddie another message to double-check if things are working there from their end.
My point is, just getting people accounts and hoping they'll figure it out does not seem like it does much. Such as at conferences or where they've been onboarding people with the app. It does feel like guidance and some info is required which onboarders have been able to provide through seminars/webinars, etc, that I mentioned in the post, or directly chatting/talking with them 1 on 1. Curation retention obviously helps along the way so they can see they're already getting some value for their time while at the same time distributing inflation to more unique users.
Access to public spaces: a ballroom, a plaza, townhall. Maybe tables, chairs and electricity. Hey, if you can get a free venue, why not?
Of course restaurants and pubs will also be glad to have your event in exchange for some sales.
just woke up, I was going to answer Acid, but you got it! hahaha
