During this session we will explore ways to create an experience at your event that your donors will talk about for months.  We’ll share examples of pre-event and post-event engagement strategies to keep your donors engaged throughout the year. We will discuss current trends for special events and tidbits we have learned along the way. We will cover event management from the perspective of managing your volunteer hosts committees and touch on how to keep volunteers happy and engaged.  We will have time for Q&A and provide meaningful takeaways for you to take back to your shops.
