The challenge
A travel community meets abroad, and every member wants their photos
The Great Indian Points & Miles Show, hosted by Aadil Bandukwala and Dhimant Negandhi, shows its audience how to book business class, first class and luxury hotels on points. It covers card comparisons, transfer partners and long-form conversations with cardholders. The Points Syndicate brings members together in person, this time in Hanoi.
Community meet-ups run on connection. Members want photos with each other and with the hosts, and the community wants content that keeps the conversation going after the event. A WhatsApp-group photo dump does neither: members scroll through everyone's photos and the best moments get lost.
