Dress Code
While we don’t have a particular dress code, we advise you to dress in a way that will be comfortable yet respectful to everyone. We recommend layers as the temperature inside the theatre may differ quite a lot compared to outside.
Keep in mind that there’s a chance you may be called on stage (and filmed) so take that into consideration with respect to how you’d like to dress!
Pre-Work/Materials
Please come prepared with a story you can tell in 3 minutes or less.
This can be about who you are, a funny event, or something that has led you to this point in life! This story should not be traumatic, or anything that would cause you to become teary or overly emotional!
Emergencies
Our friendly staff will be with you throughout the workshop to provide any assistance you might need. In case of an emergency, please contact our Head of Events, Kan Huang at events@vinhgiang.com.
No problem, there will be dedicated space for you to place your luggage in the venue or with the hotel concierge. We’ve hired the entire theatre exclusively and will keep a close eye on the luggage, but unfortunately cannot take responsibility if things were to go amiss.
Unfortunately not, the footage is used to help improve our future events and may be used for marketing purposes.
Photos with Vinh are reserved only if you are a fast action taker (first 20 ticket purchasers).
This workshop is strictly in a group setting. If time allows, Vinh may spend some time with socialising with everyone throughout the workshop.
If you have any further questions, please email us at
events@vinhgiang.com.
Looking forward to seeing you at the workshop!
