SUMMARY:Webinar: Embracing the Moment – A practical guide for executing a virtual fundraising auction
DESCRIPTION:These are unprecedented times but it doesn’t mean you have to cancel your event. \nEmbrace the moment and go virtual with your auction. It sounds scary\, but it doesn’t have to be. Virtual events are not new and you are likely already working with vendors that have the expertise you need to execute a virtual auction for your organization. Much of the strategy you’ve built to fundraise for your organization stays the same\, you just have to switch tactics to move away from a live event and into the virtual world. \nThis webinar with Beth Sandefur Events will cover the following topics: \n\nWhat elements of your fundraising auction stay the same when you switch to a virtual format?\nWhat elements of your auction change?\nAdapting the pace of an auction to fit a virtual model\nKey vendors for virtual auctions\nVirtual auction solutions for every budget\nTips on how to create online engagement opportunities during a virtual auction\n\nAbout Beth Sandefur: \nBeth is a seasoned event planner with a strong background in development and hands-on experience with theatrical production. Her efforts focus on planning and execution of fundraising galas\, typically with a large auction component. As a planner\, she believes in working with clients to find the inefficiencies and redundancies in their systems to create a streamlined approach\, keeping the organizational mission in the forefront\, while still throwing a great party. She also works as a consultant to help clients integrate their annual fundraising event into year-round donor development through auction data collection & analysis as well as creating comprehensive sponsorship proposal strategies.

SUMMARY:Webinar: The Truth About The Top 5 Auction Myths with Kilbreath Auctions
DESCRIPTION:This Webinar is available on-demand—watch it now! \nThe Truth About the Top 5 Auction Myths\nOne of the main things your auctioneer should be doing is consulting. Your auctioneer does 50\, 75\, 100 events a year – so they should be taking information from those events and helping you decide best practices for your event. 80% of what the auctioneer does should be spent before your event – making sure the plan is set for you to raise the most money possible for your organization. We know how difficult it is to plan an event\, and in this webinar\, we will debunk common auction myths. \nDuring the webinar\, Stephen will cover: \n\nDo more auction items and more guests mean more money?\nCan you predict how much money you will make at your event?\nDoes it really matter who the auctioneer is?\n\nLive Webinar – Wednesday\, February 12th\, 2020\n2:00 pm-3:00 pm Eastern / 11:00 am – 12:00 pm Pacific\n*Can’t attend live? Register anyway and receive the recording after the webinar!\n  \nYour Presenter:\nStephen Kilbreath. Kilbreath Auctions\nStephen has been a fundraising auctioneer since the early 90s\, calling hundreds of auctions and raising millions of dollars. Stephen’s sincerity\, authenticity and a terrific understanding of benefit auctions make him stand out. His style is entertaining and conversational-making it an enjoyable and memorable evening for your guests. Stephen excels at connecting and reading his audiences\, all resulting in generating the most revenue possible for his auction clients. \nHe has taught classes\, and has mentored auctioneers across the country and has earned the rare Benefit Auction Specialist designation through the National Auctioneers Association. Less than 1% of auctioneers nationally have achieved that designation! \nNot only is Stephen a top benefit auctioneer in the Northwest-his name may be familiar because of his long broadcasting career. He was on the morning radio for more than 20 years. Currently\, he can be seen on KING-5 television. \nStephen lives in Snoqualmie\, WA where he enjoys his two boys Ben (13)\, and Jack (9).

Where you met great people who shared your values and went home excited to see what they would do next? \nMost people have been to both of these types of events. And while it’s easy to judge an event as a “good” or “bad” experience\, it can be difficult to put your finger on exactly what makes an event fun or a flop. \nThe good news is that all successful events have a few core things in common. There is a certain system that can make any event great\, no matter the size\, theme\, or budget. In this webinar\, you’ll learn the best strategies to plan a fun\, sustainable fundraiser that your guests will love and will grow in profit year after year. \nLive Webinar – Wednesday\, July 10th\, 2019\n11:00 am – 12:00 pm Pacific\n*Can’t attend live?
