AIESEC Western Regional Conference 2010

I just had the most amazing AIESEC conference ever during this long weekend!! We cheered, we danced, we lived to the fullest together as if it was the last day of our life!

Thanks to the Organizing Committee team (Tony, I <3 U), our conference went very well in terms of logistics and programming. When I got back to Gage from the conference, I started to look at our delegation package and realized something. We all got a free CONDOM from UBC Wellness Centre along with a Safe Sex brochure. I was freaked out “Wow… they actually gave out this stuff for everyone!”. Was that a good idea or not? After taking a minute or so to calm down, I thought this is a good idea to remind people of their safety. Compared to other random food like Tofu, yogurt or nuts, condom would definitely be the most important free stuff for all of us. C’mon, you gotta admit it!

Rule of thumb for marketing: put yourself into the customer’s shoes to understand what they actually NEED!

Bailamos!

9/2009:

I remember when I was in first year, Clubs Days was like a maze for me with hundreds of clubs that offer you many social events throughout the year. Walking out of that room, I was confused: What do I want? What should I choose?

1 year later…

Clubs Days is over, phewww!!!! I was in charge of OSC booth and it was exhausting smiling at everyone walking by and saying the same thing over and over again. I also got a chance to walk around different rooms to see how other clubs are doing. It feels great seeing my friends being execs for those clubs after a year of growth and progress.

But nothing could entertain me more than walking by Dance clubs. They were dancing passionately non-stop in front of other people. It truly intrigued me to join dance club again, I must say. My passion for latin dance is burning again! I think this is an amazing way to promote for dance club, instead of generic lines that pass from one ear to another. I’d rather SEE than HEAR.

I wonder how they can have enough budget to do all of these things, but I got a bunch of Salsa and Ballroom flyers slipped through my door every single day. If they do this for each unit, it’d cost them 3 flyers x 4 units x 17 floors x 3 buildings = 612 flyers for Gage residence.

Unbelievably a waste of paper, people!

But it killed me…. I’m finally convinced to go to Latin Dance Party tonight and sign up for a Ballroom Class Bronze Level soon.

Shall we dance? Vale, bailamos!
