Community Require Contribution

You might have noticed that I haven’t hosted any events under Casual Tech Meetup for the past few months. The most recent one was in 2024 December, when I collaborated with Shirley on Rewind Your 2024 event.

The reason for this pause is that I’ve been feeling a bit lost about what’s next—what strategy and tactics I should use to achieve the vision I have for these gatherings.

No matter the setting—whether I’m hosting Service Jam Hong Kong, organizing book clubs with friends, or facilitating workshops at work—my vision has always been clear: to curate transformative experiences that foster growth and innovation.

However, when it comes to the strategy and tactics for hosting event under Casual Tech Meetup , I’m still figuring things out.

That said, just because I haven’t hosted a event under Casual Tech Meetup recently doesn’t mean I’ve stopped hosting altogether. I’ve simply been more intentional about the events I choose to organize. Over the past few months, a book club started by my friends has caught my interest.

Unlike a typical book club where people simply discuss what they’ve read, ours takes a different approach. Every two to three months, we gather, and one person prepares a workshop for the group. Through interactive exercises and sharing session, we explore how we can apply the book’s insights to real life. Each member takes turns selecting the book and designing the workshop.

Through this, I’ve realized that a truly sustainable community is one where every member contributes. When everyone takes turns bringing their unique ideas to the event, engagement naturally increases, and the community thrives.
