Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Why 3 Events in a Row Creates Lifelong Donors | Emily Preble
Q: What energy-boosting tactics can attendees and hosts use to keep a room engaged?
Lead with leadership tone, tease items on social media, and emphasize that attendees are contributing to a cause, not just being entertained; focusing on controlling what can be controlled and having the right spokesperson on stage can sustain energy.
Why 3 Events in a Row Creates Lifelong Donors | Emily Preble
Q: What's the perfect conversation to have in advance of the event?
Her preferred discussion involves uncovering the organization's broader goals beyond fundraising, including awareness, ongoing engagement, and potential sponsorships, to shape the event's strategy.
Why 3 Events in a Row Creates Lifelong Donors | Emily Preble
Q: Ideally, how far in advance do you work with an organization?
She suggests a nine-month window as ideal for planning, with practical work beginning around six to four months before an event to align messaging, goals, and details.
Why 3 Events in a Row Creates Lifelong Donors | Emily Preble
Q: What got you into consulting?
Emily explains that consulting and auctioneering went hand in hand because she wanted to be a partner to nonprofits, taking tasks off their plates and helping the day-to-day operations while still delivering impact at events.
After 2,000 Galas, Here's What Actually Makes Donors Give More | Rob Giardinelli
Q: How should nonprofits think about messaging to both attract attendees and drive donations?
Use macro messaging to bring people in with a compelling event or entertainer, and couple that with micro messaging in the room that speaks directly to donors about why their support matters, including showing you've done homework on their interests.
