Is ‘Hybrid’ the New ‘Pivot’?

 

From the desk of: The AE Events Team

While there is no magic 8 ball that can predict what the future holds for gathering together in person at events…we are excited by the prospects of the Spring! 

Our objective and ultimate joy is to forge ahead and reimagine these experiences to make each one unique and even better than last year’s event. We are now in the planning stages for the Spring 2021 non-profit gala season focusing on creative ideas, new perspectives and opportunities with fresh experiences for your guests.  There are so many advantages to our planning and event experiences for 2021:  

  1. Your executive team, board and guests are already on board for this amazing virtual experience.

  2. You can hit the ground running with AE Events, your trusted partner, because we know virtual events require extensive planning and executing.  It’s important to get an early start!

  3. People continue to be generous and are donating.  According to the Chronicle of Philanthropy and other philanthropic sources, people are increasing their levels of giving. The financial needs for important missions can be met.

  4. New audiences can be reached with your mission being carefully crafted and constructed resulting in cultivation opportunities and securing additional connections.

  5. The virtual experience, when capably and skillfully executed, can equally provide guests with a sense of community, shared goals and purpose, even when unable to be in a shared space.

As we launch into the 2021 season our goals and objectives are to effectively inform donors and guests about your mission, and to ultimately reinforce their commitment and financial support all while entertaining and delighting them with an incredible and memorable experience.  

Just like many non-profit organizations, the event industry has made enormous adjustments and transformations over the last year.  We continue to reach new heights of creativity and have secured important and reliable technology experts and partners to reprogram platforms for greater capabilities or to build new ones from scratch to maximize success.  We are familiar with and have substantial expertise to provide a plethora of options to help launch and propel your mission successfully to a virtual audience.

It’s a unique time for opportunity and creativity. We are capable of bringing many options and ideas to the table and to help guide you toward the best possibilities for your organization.  We are committed to meet with your team early and often in order to create a highly successful virtual event.  We can offer many services such as coordinating speaker schedules with videographers safely and socially distanced, securing studio space to pre-record, curating special gifts and other honorary items for donors/sponsors, and explore ways to assist cultivating prospects.  Let’s get started today so we can help you create everlasting memories of your event.
