SUMMARY:Elevate: A Conference for Fundraising Events
DESCRIPTION:Greater Giving is excited to sponsor this conference! Join us in August.\nElevate 2020 is going virtual! COVID-19 has made it necessary to reimagine what event fundraising looks like\, so we’ve planned a full day of digital content to answer your questions and give you the tools you need to effectively move forward. Our goal is to address what to do about fall 2020 and spring 2021 fundraising events. Attendees will also have the opportunity to participate in a virtual fundraising event to experience the format for themselves. \nConference content will be offered via the Whova virtual event app where there will be a library of recorded content and a schedule of interactive panels\, discussions and demo events to participate in on August 12. We are offering a single registration price for everyone on your team so that you can #keepfundraising. \nAdditionally\, we anticipate that fundraising events in 2021 will be a hybrid of both small\, in-person gatherings and digital virtual content. So\, we’re excited to offer a discounted package rate to participate in Elevate 2020 virtually and Elevate 2021 either in-person or virtually\, as we will be offering a hybrid Elevate conference in 2021 on June 14-15 in Portland\, OR and online.
