• Specifically, the event should meet the following criteria:
• The event lasts a few days and requires flying to or driving to a retreat location such as a farm, ranch, or villa.
• The event charges participants for a ticket fee that is above a typical hotel stay. For instance, a cybersecurity event in a rural retreat that charges $8000 for 4 days stay and work with like-minded people.
• The event is small and designed for a nitch market (for instance, involving 5 to 50 people; not as large as a music festival).
• All participants at the event already know the lead guru (host or main guest) as an influential person in their respective industry.
• Based on all the events found, analyze and conclude the following:
• The range of prices of tickets;
• Frequency and characteristics of participants (for instance, if they are young or old people, married or not, taking their family or by themselves)
• Selection criteria of event space (i.e. what is common in terms of the space chosen for these events).
• This research should be biased towards (or focused on) Australia, followed by similar examples in the United States, and Canada.
