Idea: instead of a whiskey tasting event, would a mocktail tasting event or food tasting event be of interest? Lots of people don't drink, and I'm trying to find event ideas that are less booze focused.... Imagine a sales type of event, like a CISO dinner.... But without pressure to drink. Thoughts? - ThreadSky

Picturing a chocolate tasting and pairing event. That would be amazing

shehackspurple.bsky.social•14 days ago

Omg. With several coffees and teas. Yum

I would 100% go to a fancy mocktail function

I've tried coffee tasting, and it was great!

Doing half a thing is never as good as just doing something else

Ok. What would work better? Or, any ideas you are open to sharing? 🌞

My consulting fee is $200 an hour, minimum 3 hours

Until COVID cancelled it, we were planning an event with the thought of having cool shrubs and mocktails at the evening mixer.

…and yes, whisky drinking is totally inappropriate for work related stuff that ought to be inclusive. I say this as a whisky fan.

What’s your objective?

shehackspurple.bsky.social•14 days ago

Make people comfortable, have fun, have good and meaningful conversations. Get to know each other.

Mozilla did "Milk and Cookies" in Vegas like years ago which wuz and IIRC it's when I met Dan Veditz and Window [no surname necessary] anyhoo MILK AND COOKIES

Both sound really good, with coffee or tea tasting as another possibility. It's worth looking at halal events for no booze ideas.

Good idea!

As long as there are CISOs present, I’ll feel the need to drink.

Assembling bicycles for a Women's & Childrens Shelter, composing 'goodie bags' for the homeless that include toiletries and socks or having a 'bring your CISO +1' sushi rolling class are all superior to CISO Steakhouse & Cocktail parties IMO.

Cold brews are getting fashionable as fine dining pairings.
