A lesson in holding your nerve with Alana Buckley, Host of Diner en Blanc Gatecrasher

- Marketing
Dealing with last minute changes can be one of the most challenging parts of hosting events.
“Two days before we got a call saying, they’re not going to let you put anything on fire. And we were like, it’s literally the most important part of the entire event.”
Our guest this time, Alana Buckley shares her experiences as the host of Diner en Blanc, an event that's cloaked in mystery. It's the pop-up picnic party that's become a global sensation, attended by over 100,000 guests; an event so good people are prepared to bring their own table, chair, crockery and food to meet in an undisclosed location.
Responsible for bringing this now iconic event to London, Alana shares the challenges she faced along the way in applying her own vision.
In this conversation we talk about:
Utilising FOMO to create audiences and connect people
The satisfaction of pulling off a complicated event
Plus how street food is changing events catering for the better
