For venues: I bring people to your space

I'm Martin, and I run Room for More, a social events community in Oslo. Every week I host evenings where people come to meet new people: board games, after-work mingles, a pub crawl. The people show up because of the event. The venue gets a recurring, well-behaved crowd on a fixed night, without lifting a finger beyond normal service.

What this looks like in practice

The clearest example: every Monday I host board games at No Stress at Strøget, a standing collaboration since June 2026. The venue gives us a dedicated area, we bring a social crowd on what would otherwise be a quiet night, and they repost the event on their channels. My Wednesday mingle runs weekly at Kulturhuset, and the Friday pub crawl starts at YNG. Same idea everywhere: a reliable, recurring night, not a one-off stunt.

What I bring

The crowd and the hosting. Promotion runs through my own channels: a Meetup group with 400+ members, this website with RSVPs and weekly event emails, a WhatsApp community, and Instagram. On the night I'm there hosting: welcoming people, keeping the room social, making sure it's a good evening. Guests buy their own food and drinks at your normal prices.

What I ask from a venue

A table or area we can count on, on a fixed weekly slot, and one contact person. That's the whole ask for the standard setup. I cover the event-specific things myself (promotion, games, props, materials); the venue covers what it already has (the space, the bar, the licence).

Bigger activations

Some venues want more than a weekly table: a themed night, a program for a slow weekday, help making a new space feel alive. I do paid hosting for that kind of brief, where the venue is the customer and the event is often free for guests. How we structure it depends on the venue and the night, so that's a conversation, not a price list.

Get in touch

Send me a note through the contact page or straight to martiniskovli@gmail.com , in Norwegian or English. Tell me what your space is like and which nights are slow, and I'll come back with an honest take on whether it fits.

One thing that never changes: my public socials stay free to join for guests. The collaboration works because the event fills your space, not because anyone pays at the door.
