The way we gather, convene, and celebrate changed dramatically over the past few years. Now, many nonprofits are assessing how to adapt their event strategies to deliver on objectives, reach financial goals, and create an experience to remember. If you're looking for expert guidance to reimagine your event strategy and learn actionable tips you can put in practice right away, then this 3-part series is for you.
Join Beth Chappelow with Chappelow Events for a 3-part workshop that will help you refine your vision for your events this year and give you the knowledge you need to execute any gathering with success.
- Part 1 - Events Redefined: Who is your audience? What are your goals? How to work with your board to embrace changes and step eagerly into the next iteration of your event? Let's go back to the basics to ensure our approach aligns with our overall goal.
- Part 2 - Financial Strategy for a Successful Event: How do you set your event budget? What are realistic revenue projections? Learn tried and true practices to ensure your events deliver the results you desire without breaking the bank.
- Part 3 - Creating an Experience to Remember: It's important that your audience engages during your event, but what happens afterwards? Give your attendees an experience to remember that keeps your mission front and center.
