Virtual Gala 2.0: Taking Virtual Galas to the Next Level in 2021

SPECIAL GUEST: Greg Quiroga, Stellar Fundraising Auctions

Learn best practices for conducting a virtual gala in 2021. Whether you did a virtual gala this past year or will be conducting your first virtual gala in 2021, come learn proven techniques for creating a virtual event that will engage and entertain your crowd.

We saw the rise of the virtual gala as the primary means of conducting fundraising auctions and fund-a-needs in 2020, and spent the last year inventing, developing and fine-tuning best practices. Learn when you should open your live auction for bidding, how long you should leave open your fund-a-need, where you should place your fund-a-need, how much of your event needs to be live and more.

Greg Quiroga, Stellar Fundraising Auctions

Greg Quiroga is the San Francisco Bay Area’s premier fundraising auctioneer and has been conducting fundraising auctions for non-profit organizations across the United States since 2004. In a normal year, he works with over 50 non-profits, schools, foundations, arts organizations, and charities to help raise over $15 million.

With the outbreak of Covid-19 and the advent of social distancing protocols that shut down in-person event fundraising, Greg shifted his focus to virtual fundraising opportunities. He quickly became one of the thought leaders in the virtual event space. His bi-weekly “How to Implement a Virtual Gala” webinar series consistently attracted 100 attendees in real-time and continues to be his most popular videos online.

Greg has conducted over 30 virtual galas since March of 2020 and helped non-profits raise over $6,750,000 online. His virtual events have run the gamut from low-fi self-produced webinars to high-end, in-studio productions and have included donors from San Francisco, Texas, New York, London, Beirut, and Hong Kong.

The founder of Stellar Fundraising Auctions (www.StellarSF.com), Greg, and his wife live in San Francisco with their teenage son.
