Has your special event lost its momentum? Have you been doing the same gala or golf outing for years, but seeing fewer attendees and less revenue each year? Maybe it’s time to reconsider what you are doing and take a fresh approach. It might even be time to retire, or at least reinvent, your special event. In this session, you’ll learn about:

  • Current trends in nonprofit events
  • The life cycle of special events
  • How to examine hidden costs and benefits
  • How your event aligns with your fundraising goals
  • Fundraising vs. Friendraising
