Feasibility Study - Steemcamp Meetup/Audition for Abuja City NIgeria
Hello steemians, Welcome here. As we all know, Steemcamp is a huge project and as the first entertainment blockchain offline event,preparations are being made to make it a success. Part of the Steemcamp team, @michaelcj, @Jacobite, and @xpency traveled to the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja which is one of the audition/meetup venue, for feasibility studies.
We are making this post from d.tube because we are going to officially post videos for the event like contestants video, team song video, jingle, meetup coverage for all city meetups e.t.c Appics photos and Dsound will be used for online contest and all other post will be published via busy
Here is a critical feasibility review
Possible audition/meetup venue.
The team picked two different areas that could be good for the event;
- Town
- Student area.
The team went to these two different catchment area to find out which is more suitable for audition/meetup.
TOWN
It was discovered that the Town just as the name implies is the sophisticated part of the city with companies, high rated hotels, government houses and estates. Abuja being the capital of Nigeria, the town is filled with the rich and wealthy and of course, it is a very beautiful city and thus a center of attraction. Though it promises so much comfort, it has it's own disadvantages. Steem Camp is an initiative to empower the "not too privileged" youths, therefore, the class of people in the town are not our major target.
STUDENT AREA
When you talk about empowering the youths, the first place that comes to mind is the higher institutions, reason is because it's an environment with thousands if not hundreds of thousand of youths depending on the institution size. If it's size, The University of Abuja has it, therefore the team proceeded to the school for the feasibility study. The student area is further divided into two areas;
The Main Campus
The main campus was built about few years ago, as the population of the students grew and couldn't be accommodated at Mini Campus, some departments were moved to the main campus. Though the campus is bigger, it is located in a developing area, it has less residents, no good hotels and no halls around the environment.Therefore it is not a conducive environment for the audition/meetup.
The Mini Campus
The Mini campus, however, is the heart of activities in the school. Being the first campus of the University, more houses surrounds it, more youths reside there and also it has good hotels at affordable prices.
With this in mind, the team visited 3 hotels, 4 hot spots and 2 potential hubs around the mini campus and chose the most suitable hotel for the event, which is Atlas Hotel. The hotel is comprised of;
- A strategic location which is easy to locate
- A spacious environment
- A good hall that can accommodate our target population
- A nice management and staff.
The team met the manager of the hotel to negotiate accommodation and prices and the end of the discussion, the manager agreed to provide the following;
- A large hall for the Steemit meetup and seminar
- A mini hall for the audition proper
- A projector
- Dj and sounds
Rooms for crew and media team
PUBLICITY
The team proceeded to Radio stations to inquire about jingles advert. They went to WAZOBIA Radio as it's the most listened radio in Abuja.
We met Mc Finest, a host at the radio station and he said that Steem camp can be given 30 minutes air ticket at a specified price.
We met a popular promoter in the city, who was excited about the event and said that he can get more than 500 people for Abuja meetup/audition.
We will also promote the meetup event on local known blogs in Abuja
20 pieces banners will be printed and will be hung at 5 major location
- Boys hostel
- Girls hostel
- Mini campus gate
- Main campus gate
- The hotel gates (Atlas hotel) and environs
- Handbills will be printed as well and street publicity will also be carried out.
CONCLUSION
After scouting the city and after much deliberations, it was decided that the Atlas hotel at the mini campus will be used for the audition/meetup because the campus is more populated and we will be able to reach out to more people.
