Zip ties found in our junk drawers. Creating a run of show for mundane daily tasks. Wistful feelings at the sight of a stow-and-go minivan. We can’t help it. We’re events people. And after an extremely hard year, the spring has us feeling hopeful that we’ll once again…
Like so many event professionals, I have spent less time flying in the past year than at any other point in my entire (adult) life. I went through a real grieving process for being grounded from traveling. But then I decided to channel that energy into obsessively walking all over……
As someone with Irish ancestors on both sides (plus among my in-laws, if you couldn’t tell by my two Irish last names), I’ve heard a proverb or two that was meant to make sense of the world in some pithy way. Looking down the list on some of the wisest……
At last week’s P2P Conference, I spoke with great enthusiasm about the Return to Live Events. (If you can’t tell, we’re excited to get back out there.) During our fast-paced session, we shared our thoughts on the state of the industry, plus trends from non-profit and runner surveys that indicate……
Every year, our team looks forward to gathering together with thought leaders in the peer-to-peer fundraising space at the P2PForum21 AKA the Peer-to-Peer Professional Forum Conference. This… Read More
This feels different. Today I should be packing my suitcase with conference-appropriate heels. Today I should be having my annual internal debate on what to wear when it is 80 degrees outside but freezing in a conference room. Today I should be placing my rush business card order because I……
We’re taking the 5x5K FOR GOOD to Dallas! If you’re anything like us, you’ve been itching to get back out on a course to do a 5K. We miss live events, too! We launched the first-ever 5x5K FOR GOOD in Denver this past October and had such a…
This Valentine’s Day has us all sentimental and waxing poetic about the many things we love about live events. Last year was full of virtual experiences, and it was great to connect with friends and teammates near and far, but our true love is real, live, in-person events. Because we……
On March 1–3, our team at Event 360 will be joining non-profit professionals and P2P experts from across the country for this year’s P2PForum21: Rebuilding the Future. For many on our team, last year’s P2P Conference in Austin was our last time on a plane. Looking back, it was…
Is anyone else itching to get back to live events? Until we can gather together in person, I feel invigorated to work virtually alongside a special group of people who bring unique and diverse experiences to the table. In our second installment (here’s a link in case you…
Every day I boot up my laptop, I feel lucky to conquer the world’s problems one Microsoft Teams chat at a time with a motley crew of incredible coworkers. Because we’ve always worked from home, video conferences, virtual brainstorming, and phone calls are nothing new to our team.
When you’re planning the marketing phase of your event, are you always looking for new tips and tricks to spur your creativity? I am constantly Googling for something to provide that spark, or explain that gut feeling I have about why something is great or needs that little extra step.…
Are you ready? We know we are! 2021—Let’s Go. After a year away from anything resembling true live events, we see 2021 as a relaunch into a space that people are craving in a major way. They want to be able to get together in a smart and safe way.…
By all accounts, 2020 was a dumpster fire of a year. We had no idea what was in store when the year began in January. A global pandemic. Many industries—including our own—devastated. Jobs lost. Celebrations—weddings, graduations, travel—indefinitely postponed. Here… Read More
Event 360 family, Event 360 alumni, current and former client partners, and industry friends: what a year! We finally made it to the winter holidays—where time spent with family and friends, recharging our batteries, and stepping away to reflect are typically the focus. This year, we’ll see family and friends……
The holiday season has arrived, and while our holiday company parties may be over Zoom and our holiday cards are e-cards (as everyone’s working remote), some holiday traditions were built for pandemic life: snuggling in themed pajamas drinking cocoa on the couch and watching holiday movies. My favorite? Home Alone.…
Here’s our second and final installment in our series titled “What 2020 Taught Us,” and the list of both professional and personal lessons learned this year goes on and on. I don’t know about you, but 2020 taught me all sorts of things—including fifth grade math (thanks e-Learning!), how…
Over the next two weeks, we’ll be sharing our insights into What 2020 Taught Us. I know, I know; it’s hard to imagine everything we’ve learned fitting neatly into two blog posts. But it will! First up, I’ll be talking about the importance of connecting to your mission (more on……
When I think of Event 360 lore, one of my very favorite traditions is the Thanksgiving Day email Event 360 co-founder Mike “Murph” Murphy sends to the whole company. Every year, I hole up by myself for a few minutes to escape the toasty kitchen, my extended family and turkey……
Happy birthday, mighty Event 360! As we approach our 18th birthday on November 27th, we’re excited to take a moment and reflect on this special place that so many have called “home” since its founding in 2002. Not many small businesses reach the “old enough to vote” milestone, and our……
