Raising money with events has been getting harder. Acquisition got harder. Retention got lower. Event leaders are losing their jobs. Why? Turns out we were systematizing the wrong thing. We should have been systematizing the building of communities. Communities sometimes hold events. Events rarely hold communities. We had it backwards and our results prove it. Join us to gain a full understanding of the psychological difference between a community and an event, and the likely outcomes of each. Learn why identity is an important part of community building, and why events don’t use identity nearly as well, impacting event financial results and lifetime donor/fundraiser value. Robin Paterson with Cystic Fibrosis joins Kate and Otis to tell you how it works in real life.
