UNDERGROUND = ILLEGAL

Current Obstacles

• LACK OF EQUIPPED VENUES FOR MUSIC AND DANCING

• LACK OF EDUCATION ON PARTY CULTURE, CODE OF CONDUCT, DANCE FLOOR EDUCATION

• COMPLICATED PERMIT PROCESS – LONG, UNPREDICTABLE, AND NOT CATERED TO SMALL EVENTS

"THERE ARE NONFUNCTIONAL VENUES THAT ARE GATHERING DUST THAT CAN EASILY BE TRANSFORMED INTO PARTY VENUES. WE CAN MAKE USE OF THESE SPACES, AS WE HAVE THEM." BALOO, DJ & CHIEF CREATIVE, MDLBEAST

EDUCATION FOR ALL: SAUDI EVENT PROMOTERS ARE STILL ORGANIZING ON A WHIM – WITH LIMITED EVENT EXPERIENCE – THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY TO EDUCATE THEM ON HOW TO RUN PROFITABLE AND SAFE EVENTS TOO

PARTY GOERS AND AUDIENCES NEED TO BE EDUCATED – A MAJORITY OF THESE PARTY GOERS COME FOR WRONG REASON – AND THAT ONLY COMES FROM A LIMITED UNDERSTANDING AND EXPOSURE TO DANCE AND MUSIC CULTURE. THESE AUDIENCES CAN BE REACHED THROUGH PATIENCE, TIME AND POSITIVE BEHAVIOR INITIATIVES. THIS TAKES MULTIPLE STAKEHOLDERS WHO ARE INVESTED IN SOCIAL BEHAVIOR AND EVOLUTION OF THE YOUTH SOCIETY.

WITH GOVERNMENT SUPPORT – LEGAL OR FINANCIAL – EVENT BRANDS ARE EMPOWERED TO LEGALIZE THEIR EVENTS; WHICH EMPOWERS PROMOTERS TO FOLLOW REGULATIONS, AND GROW THE SCENE, SUSTAINABLY

TOUGH RESTRICTIONS AND MONITORING BY GOVERNING BODIES COULD ALSO PUSH PEOPLE AWAY, DEEPER INTO THE ILLEGAL SCENE – WHICH MEANS A BALANCE BETWEEN ORGANIZERS AND REGULATORS NEEDS TO BE ESTABLISHED
