Title
The Future of Fundraising Events in 2021 and Beyond

Presenter
Samantha Swaim, Principal, Swaim Strategies

The transition to virtual fundraising has been a year of learning. In this session we're going to share the good, the bad, and the key strategic learnings. With every event we dive deeper into understanding what core elements are essential for fundraising events as well as what works uniquely in the virtual format. What can we learn from this time as we move into a post-pandemic world? If you have a virtual event coming up, we'll give you the key strategic elements you need in place to be successful. And if you're looking ahead and trying to figure out what's next, we'll help you wade through the options. Set yourself up for a great virtual fundraising event and begin planning for the year ahead!

Participants will be able to:

• Identify key focus areas for Virtual Event success
• Develop benchmarks to build your fundraising event plan in the future
• Expand on Virtual Event elements to take with you into future gatherings

Please note that a recording of this webinar will be sent to registrants after the event.
