Webinar: Moving Your Event Online

Events in COVID times: Learn how to update and improve communication and technology 

These are challenging times and it is unlikely we will go back to the way things were — at least for a while.  As you look at how to continue to engage your audience and take your events online, the important things to consider are:  your event and communications strategies and the technology options that will work best for you.

This program will bring together event, video/technology, and communications experts who will provide:
– Suggestions for analyzing your current event portfolio to make informed decisions on what works best for your organization in terms of past performance, budgeting, donor engagement and overall participation
– Creative approaches for video messaging that can be produced in advance and interwoven with live components such as Q&A sessions and fundraising vehicles (auctions and appeals)
– Communications strategies to drive registration and retention as well as creating a social media plan around your virtual and hybrid events
– Contributions from leaders (representing both corporate and non-profit organizations) who have successfully moved events to a virtual or hybrid format

Webinar Etiquette
– Test your VIDEO and AUDIO prior to the meeting to make sure everything is working properly. Once the meeting is underway it will be impossible for us to troubleshoot.
– Make sure that you are facing the camera and do not have it facing the side of your face.
– Make sure to mute your line if you are not asking questions.
– Treat this like an “in-person” meeting and make sure you are distraction free.
– Be aware that in a video conference the camera is always on. So if you are distracted, it may be disruptive to others.
