It’s the most wonderful time of the year: time for the Peer-to-Peer Professional Forum Conference! This ain’t our first rodeo: Every February, we pack our bags, and this year, we are breaking out our cowboy boots because we’re fixin’ to giddy on up to Austin, Texas!… Read More
By Shea Morrissey, Senior Director of Client Success and Product Strategy with Hustle and Rachel Gans Kemp, Senior Team Recruitment Manager at Event 360 We’re living in a world where it’s become increasingly difficult to connect meaningfully with our supporters. How do we have conversations when and where…
By Rene Tamayo Last month, our event team completed the final Susan G. Komen 3-Day of the 2019 season. As always at the end of an event season, it provides a moment to reflect on what we have accomplished and evaluate what contributed to the success… Read More
By Erin Piafsky Walkie-talkies are cool. Or at least I think they are. Maybe I was subconsciously influenced in my youth by a steady diet of movies that showed characters using two-way radios (like this one, this one, or… Read More
By Rene Tamayo Weather, whether good or bad, plays a major role in determining how successful your event will be. When weather is perfect, it almost seems like nothing can go wrong —everything falls into place and we can focus on giving participants a wonderful time doing good for their……
By Cheryl Stern With Earth Day 2019 coming up in less than a week, it’s a great time to reflect on how we, as event professionals, can do our part to keep our events as green as possible. At Event 360, our motto while we’re out in the field has……
By Jake Geiger Over the years, we’ve dealt with a plethora of special circumstances on event. This past year was no exception. We added some new ones to the archive and were also visited by some old friends, the uninvited kind. Here is one of our favorites from 2018. I……
By Cheryl Stern We recently delved into some takeaways from the two hit documentaries about Fyre Festival, the disastrous luxury music festival of 2017 that shall live in infamy. (See FYRE’D UP, Part 1.) Now that we’ve explored our thoughts on the… Read More
By Cheryl Stern If you’ve paid any attention to pop culture as of late, you’re already aware that this month brought us not one, but two documentaries about Fyre, the doomed luxury music festival of 2017. The sordid tales behind the planning and execution of the festival-gone-wrong… Read…
By Kaleigh Glaza For event companies, and nonprofits who garner much of their funding through large-scale charity events, it is key to keep our events on the minds of past and future participants all year long. Once events are in the past, the urgency of the cause lessens, and it……
By Gina Guerreso With the New Year upon us, preparations for events in 2019 are well underway. Still, we find it’s important to hit the pause button and reflect on getting to this point. We celebrate our successes, but can’t forget the challenges, the times we were pushed outside of……
Hoping for the best, but planning for the worst By Mark Dolce The planet is warming and the climate is changing, and as event production professionals—the sometimes salty Rain Dogs who work through all kinds of Stormy Weather—we plan for it, we deal with… Read More
By Joann Collins The seasonal nature of the fundraising events business means that your communications team is usually in one of three repeating phases: Planning, Implementing, or Analyzing. Then as soon as you’re done with your analysis, it’s time to plan for the next year. During that transition period…
By David Kramer Imagine planning five events for one client in an event season. Not so unusual for those of us in event planning, right? Now imagine all five of those events will happen in two back-to-back weekends… spread out in different cities across the country. It becomes a bit……
The V Foundation for Cancer Research was built on the dream that cancer can one day be defeated. On Saturday, May 19, 2018, the Event 360 team brought to life the very first Victory Ride to Cure Cancer, a new peer-to-peer fundraising event designed… Read More
By Katie Zupancic Wymer Last week, I had the honor of attending the Classy Collaborative, a three-day conference focused on social impact. Together, 1,200 changemakers explored trends in philanthropy, social entrepreneurship, fundraising, cause marketing, digital marketing, and corporate social responsibility. Throughout the different panel discussions, case studies, and…
By Kat Thomas “How do we increase our festival’s survey score results?” That’s the million-dollar question that every event asks each year. And if you’re not asking that, you should be! Using a post-event survey to gather the feedback is a great way to identify what’s working, what’s not, and……
By: Janelle Banuska, Ann Love, Eileen Barnick, Melanie Toner and Cheryl Stern At Event 360, we strive to excel and push ourselves both personally and professionally. Recently, several employees moved into new positions within departments and across projects. We thought it fitting to speak with some of these…
By Tim Brockman As we quickly approach the beginning of the 2017 event season, my travel quickly starts to increase, which requires lots of time in airports, hotels and on planes. Inevitably, maybe because of my size, people always want to know, “what do you do?” Most I…
By Kiki Setterlund It’s that time again. Event planning season. As the beginning of another tour year draws upon us here at Event 360, I like to take some time to reflect on what and who it takes to pull off an event like the Susan G. Komen…
