The adoption and innovation of technology during the pandemic has completely shifted consumer behavior. Work- from-home, eLearning, telehealth, and online shopping have shifted every aspect of our day-to-day transactions and if we don’t adjust to this new reality for peer-to-peer fundraising events, we’ll be behind others who are innovating their participant experience. The speed and adoption of…
For peer-to-peer event professionals, the return of autumn also means conference season is back . Last week, our team spoke at two conferences: Raise – The Event Fundraising Conference and Peer-to-Peer World. Both were virtual, bringing together bright minds in the non-profit event fundraising space to share lessons and insights from the past 18 months. Here are some…
On September 12 in Chicago, we officially kicked off the 2021 MMRF Team for Cures 5K walk/run series! It’s been nearly 22 months since our last in-person event with the MMRF, and we worked around the clock with them to make sure it was a safe and successful event. Four hundred people turned out under brilliant blue skies, full of excitement to…
In the ever-changing landscape of the corporate world, you have likely been hearing buzz words like “corporate social responsibility,” “employee engagement,” and “volunteer development.” Partnerships with corporations have continued to shift and grow, and more than ever are reliant on leveraging relationships to provide meaningful opportunities for involvement. What’s remained consistent is the importance and impact these partnerships have, so today’s blog… Read More
Marketing an event is no easy feat, but creating a Facebook event is one of the easiest, cost-effective ways to increase exposure and drive registrations. Facebook events can be either in-person or virtual and fall under a multitude of categories, making it easy to connect with consumers who have…
In the middle of 2020, when the world seemed to turn every position into a “work from home” position, it was business as usual for Event 360. While there are innumerable benefits to working out of a home office, it is very easy to fall into a routine that can……
We asked a few Event 360 teammates what habits they picked up during quarantine that they’re not giving up. Read More
After the year we’ve all endured, it feels so nice to be focusing on the future, doesn’t it? Here at Event 360, we’ve got two in-person events under our belts with the Florida AIDS Walk and Music Festival and the 5x5K FOR GOOD Dallas and are solidifying more…
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…
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.…
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……
Friday, October 16 was a big day for our team. It marked our return to putting on live, in-person events. What was only an idea 90 days ago became a real thing. By 7pm that Friday, the inaugural 5x5K FOR GOOD Denver was all built and ready to welcome…
We are thrilled to share that we are one week away from event day. Event day. EVENT DAY. Something we were not sure would ever get to happen in 2020. Our hearts and minds are racing with the adrenaline that only a live, in-person event can bring. In this…
