Not every organization is going to have success using the same strategies--which is why we don’t preach that we have the be-all, end-all of event marketing advice. Instead, we will provide you with tactics and guides to improve your current strategies and results, and show you how to determine what is working for your specific donors, your specific event, and your specific organization. 

We will answer questions like: What if I don’t have a big email list or social media following? When and how should I use different marketing channels? And the most important question of all... How can I learn what worked and what to put more effort towards when marketing my next event? 

Our session is delivered through specific tactics, clear how-tos, and real life examples. You’ll leave with actionable takeaways to implement immediately and examples from other successful organizations to use a blueprint. Get ready to launch yourself into your organization’s event marketing hall of fame!
