HRY SPACE Talk: Vanguards: Branding, Disruption, & Industries of Tomorrow

FOREWORD

One thing we observed when hosting a free panel talk in New York City is that a lot of people will book tickets then no show, causing a lot of people on the waiting list cannot come to the talk because those people who are no show tend not to cancel because they got the tickets for free.

So we decide to try a new model:

Each HRY SPACE Talk ticket will be $10 (excluding $2 something Eventbrite fee which is paid to Eventbrite), then we will donate 100% of the proceeds from HRY SPACE Talk to the Top Fundraiser on GoFundme at the end of this HRY SPACE Talk, which will be at around 8:30 PM on that talk day.

We do not need money from HRY SPACE Talk and we will never make money from HRY SPACE Talk, we hope the talk can be an insightful conversation for all who appreciates it, and we hope those who appreciate HRY SPACE Talk can come while knowing their money will go to support great causes.

To show our determination, we just donated $1000 (Assuming the talk is full with 100 people, each contributed $10 HRY SPACE Pass) to the current top fundraiser on GoFundMe:

Help For Landen – Mall Of America Attack Victim

Thank you very much for your support of our HRY SPACE Program, the HRY SPACE Talk ticket link for this upcoming Friday is in our bio. (April 26th 6:30 PM – 8:30 PM)

Sincerely,

HRY SPACE Team
