Let's Connect is a virtual discussion series hosted by Nonprofit Connect in response to the COVID-19 outbreak. We're providing the recording of these peer conversations as a resource for members.
In adherence to local policy and the safety of the public, many organizations are being faced with the difficult decision to cancel, postpone, or “go virtual” with events. As a driving source of revenue, changing an event in any way is not an easy decision to make.
This recording is the opening segment to a discussion in which Trisha Brauer, CEO of Taking Bids Fundraising, shares valuable insight on what actions she is seeing taken by nonprofit organizations in response to COVID-19, the fundamental differences between “online” vs. “virtual” events, and how to recognize sponsors in creative ways.
The second portion of the discussion – not available in this recording -- included over 60 nonprofit peers breaking into small groups and discussing the unique challenges that are facing events managers at this current time, solutions on how to overcome them, and sharing resources and offering support to each other based on personal experiences.
