Hey everyone! @Daniel Gonzo made a great suggestion for me to post how to view the specific content you want to see in the Community tab. So, at the top of the page we’ve got a bar that says “Write Something”. This is where you can make a post. Just below the post section, you’ll see all the different categories/departments in AV Wizards Club. By default, the ‘All’ category will be selected, which means you’ll see every single post. But if you select a different category (you can swipe left to see more), you’ll only see the posts that are relevant to that category. This is why you have to select a category at the bottom of the preview window when you’re creating a post. So, if you’re only interested in learning about lighting, you’d want to select the lighting category. The page will refresh and show you only lighting posts. I hope that helps. Let me know if you have any more questions!

Reason 1) Communities Create Opportunities: My goal is to give you as much value as I possibly can, and to create a community full of people with that same goal in mind. I work with some of the best technicians in Vancouver, setting up and operating events at the Vancouver Convention Centre and Roger’s Arena. This community won’t just be full of people interested in learning, it will be full of my colleagues who are experts interested in sharing their knowledge with you. You can ask questions about anything in the event industry and know that you will get a response from a mentor you can trust. This is a great opportunity in and of itself but I also plan to eventually offer other exclusive opportunities like video calls with experts from each department to members on a regular basis. These opportunities will help you gain the knowledge and skills you need to get job opportunities in your local event industry. Reason 2) You Don’t Know What You Don’t Know: In the Information Age, it’s easy to think that you can become a YouTube expert for free. And while I’m definitely not bashing YouTube and think it can be a great resource for learning a particular subset of a subject, it is not a replacement for a structured and cohesive learning course. The problem is that you don’t know what you don’t know. If someone tells you something untrue or even partially untrue, you have no point of reference to gauge whether it’s accurate or not. Imagine you’re following someone who claims they’re leading you North. If you have a compass that says South, you know that you’re getting bad information. But if you don’t have a compass, you have no idea whether you can trust the information or not. When you join a community of experts and subscribe to a learning course from an expert who claims to value truth and humility, there’s a pretty good chance that you can trust the information. And there’s also a pretty good chance that if any one member says something imprecise, that another member will correct them. Those corrections are encouraged here.
