Join us for our upcoming workshop: Getting Back to Live and In-Person

Live events are coming back! Are you ready? Many of us have not held a live event in a while, so let’s get together to talk about what has changed and what still works in the world of fundraising auctions and non-profit event production.

Presented by industry experts from Greater Giving, Beth Sandefur Events, The Lux Productions, and Stellar Fundraising Auctions. This workshop will feature in-depth discussions on how the culture of in-person events has evolved, the ways auction software has changed, best practices for registration in the time of covid, leaving your silent auction online, making your fund-a-need successful, live auction lots that work, conducting a hybrid event, breakout Q&A sessions, and more.

Registration includes lunch and a cooking demonstration by Orion Sylvester of Orion’s Kitchen. Seminar is limited to 50 attendees, so register now!
