Make It Hap­pen Net­work founder An­dre Sealey is hop­ing to cre­ate a so­cial ex­pe­ri­ence bet­ter suit­ed for work­ing pro­fes­sion­als.

In a re­lease, Sealy stat­ed he is cu­rat­ing an en­tire­ly new cat­e­go­ry of so­cial ex­pe­ri­ence—one de­signed not for the usu­al par­ty­go­ers, but for the am­bi­tious, the cu­ri­ous, and the of­ten-over­looked pro­fes­sion­als who rarely step in­to nightlife spaces.

He said, “Doc­tors rush­ing from hos­pi­tal ro­ta­tions, lawyers bal­anc­ing case­loads, cre­atives buried in dead­lines, ex­ec­u­tives jug­gling board­rooms—these are the peo­ple I am tar­get­ing. The in­di­vid­u­als who want to go out but feel tra­di­tion­al events don’t align with their lifestyles or their iden­ti­ties. In oth­er words, peo­ple wait­ing for a space where they can be both en­ter­tained and pro­duc­tive, in­spired and at ease, so­cial but yet in­ten­tion­al.”

He added, “In­stead of fight­ing for the same Car­ni­val-sea­son crowd or the same nightlife loy­al­ists, I’m tap­ping in­to the undis­cov­ered seg­ment: the pro­fes­sion­als, cre­atives, en­tre­pre­neurs, diplo­mats, and un­der­stat­ed cul­tur­al in­flu­encers who typ­i­cal­ly on­ly emerge ‘once a quar­ter’ or dur­ing Car­ni­val.”

The Make It Hap­pen Net­work is a pri­vate events, me­dia and com­mu­ni­ty en­gage­ment or­gan­i­sa­tion that brings peo­ple from var­i­ous or­gan­i­sa­tions to­geth­er to make things hap­pen for one an­oth­er. This com­mu­ni­ty has in­ten­tion­al­ly and proac­tive­ly mo­bilised to sup­port each oth­er and raise aware­ness on is­sues that mat­ter to them the most.

Sealey ex­plained that the au­di­ence he is tar­get­ing is not just un­der­served, but they al­so rep­re­sent a larg­er, more valu­able, and more di­verse mar­ket than the cur­rent par­ty­go­ing de­mo­graph­ic.

Sealey called this “merg­ing busi­ness with en­ter­tain­ment,” as it is a cre­ation of a mod­ern cul­tur­al hub where peo­ple from vast­ly dif­fer­ent spheres of in­flu­ence can meet, share ideas, and en­joy them­selves in a re­fined and cel­e­bra­to­ry set­ting.

He ex­plained his vi­sion is root­ed in a clas­sic Blue Ocean Strat­e­gy—cre­at­ing an en­tire­ly new mar­ket rather than com­pet­ing in the crowd­ed one.

Sealy has test­ed the strat­e­gy with an ear­li­er event called the Be­com­ing, an event held at Vice’s launch ear­li­er this year. While it was held at a night­club, Sealy ex­plained it was not a par­ty, nor did he charge en­try for the event.

“It wasn’t a par­ty. It wasn’t a sem­i­nar. It was some­thing new—some­thing Trinidad’s event land­scape didn’t know it need­ed un­til it ar­rived,” he said.

Sealy ex­plained that this move­ment has recog­nised that not every­one wants loud­ness, ex­cess, or pre­dictabil­i­ty.

He said, “Some want com­fort. Some want in­spi­ra­tion. Some want a con­nec­tion. And many want a place that mir­rors their iden­ti­ty—am­bi­tious, ground­ed, dis­cern­ing.”
