This April, it will be 10 years since we started the Amsterdam Photo Club. Our main goal was to grow a large and diverse local community centred around photography. After having organised nearly 300 photography events, our community has grown to over 5.200 members. During this time, we have also noticed that the preferences for event participation have also changed.
New mission & vision
To successfully adapt to a continuously changing environment in our community, we will be making large changes in 2020. The first half-year will be dedicated to an extensive marketing research project, where we will be collecting information from our community in order to ascertain the current demand for events, event topics and format.
Q1 2020: Marketing research
Our market researchers Husna Pekcan and Machlon Watkin will be conducting surveys, observing events and organising meet & greet events for those wanting to actively contribute; either with ideas or event organising.
Q2 2020: Program development
Based on our research findings, we will start developing new event material and determine the knowledge, skills and abilities required for event organisers needing to host these events.
Q3 2020: Training & new events
During the summer, we will spend time training new event organisers and getting the new events up and running for the coming year.
