Agenda


Unlock the secrets to six-figure fundraising events in this high-energy session led by a veteran fundraiser Becky Chambless and a professional auctioneer Dan Newman.

You'll learn how to craft donor-centered experiences that drive generosity—from storytelling that sparks emotion to fund-a-need moments that inspire action.

Discover what makes events memorable (and profitable), how to avoid silent auctions with silent bidders, and the psychology behind giving in the room.

Walk away with actionable tools, a customizable planning worksheet, and real-world strategies to turn your next gala or benefit into a powerful engine for donor engagement and revenue.
