Organizer

Hi Dear all,

Regards on this organizer which I have taken several times event space with him, so far there is no problem and this expo event I also came across and I also check with the expo management that this event is confirmed and I also take up this expo event. For your info, I m not helping this organizer as I have check with the management so I m here to share. I have done his event outdoor at hougang, parkway and amk which I have earn profit from his event, so I m fine with his event. Lastly I also check with the expo management that if this organizer cancel this expo event and he have to pay up 80% of the rental the expo management, so I don't think he will cancel this event.

Dear "Organiser",
You really do not need to be so defensive. I was just sharing to inform people here to be careful. That's all. Just some food for thought:

1) Why would an event organiser has to changed his name a few times (From Jason, to Ices and then to Cabin now)?

2) You mentioned that you have join his event a few times from Hougang, AMK to Parkway. This means you are a vendor and not an organiser. Is it "strange" that a vendor would give himself a nick called "Organiser"?

3) By the way, Expo management usually DO NOT reveal what are the terms of their contract or refund policy to ordinary vendors who call in to check. They only reveal this to the organiser themselves.

4) Lastly, for those members here who are familiar with how pushcartforum works, a simple check with the nickname will be able to tell what name did the person register in the first place. Below are the details of your nickname (Organiser) :

You see, if I'm not mistaken, you are in fact jason/ices/cabin. Honestly, you really do not need to be so defensive. Like I have mentioned, I have not met you and have nothing against you. If you want to be a good organiser, firstly, you must be honest. Whatever is past is past. Just move on. Learn from your mistake and be a better organiser. There are a lot of event organiser in the market nowadays so do a good job and I'm sure a lot of people will continue to support you in your future events. Learn to build trust with vendors. If your event is cancel for whatever reasons, do refund vendors as soon as possible and this will build their trust in you.
In anyway, if your event at expo is genuinely organised by yourself, I wish you the best of luck !

I agree with you on this. I saw the same number just last month in gumtree, this person was advertising for flea market, apparently he said in his wadsapp that it was at the grass patch behind cpf building in tampines, i went and there was no event at all. when i text him earlier to enquire on the cost, he seems agitated.
i just went to gumtree website, i saw cabin's advertisement.
sorry i find organiser very dubious

I had checked the Singapore expo calendar and there is really this event called Singapore fashion expo.. But there are total 150 vendors over there n I believe customers will have more choice to choose. The organsier don't limit to how many stalls selling accessories or clothings n etc. That is also stopping me to sign up for the events as there are too many vendors unless you have something which other vendors don't have.. An advice for vendors...

oh no I just received another SMS from them about the event on 14 - 16 June.

Think they are really desperate to get their space filled up

Dear Fleamonster,
Thanks for the clarification. I understand that you are trying to help another organiser to "break even" their event. May I ask whether you check on the other organiser company profile and history before choosing to "HELP" them? I think a lot of vendors here already know the bad history of this organiser. Also, when you choose to "help" other organiser in future, please indicate it in your posting that you are "helping" another organiser and "NOT" the actual organiser yourself. This will give other people wrong impression of your company.

strangely, the ad in gumtree still carries the ideal solution's mobile number and the ad is there!

Hi Beztech,

Whether we are helping or not, we are still an organiser as we help to organise it, thus the word organisor is used as we still help to "organise" the event and being an organisor ourselves.

In any case, if his reputation was extremely bad, EXPO management would have rejected his application in the first place.

But not that we want to defend our "competitor" and this serves us no good, our mgmt has decided to end and will not have any future collaboration with Ideal Solution going forward.

Thanks,
Fleamonster
