AI is all over the news lately, causing CEOs and organizations to assume they know everything they need to know about AI. Assumption is dangerous. Our guests will help us explore how we can identify and address the risks, while still enjoying the benefits of AI.

While consultants have often recommended cutting events based on ROI calculated on single year revenue, Steve demonstrates event impact on lifetime value of constituents who populate other revenue channels. Gone are the days when events are measured by money only. Instead, events should be primarily measured by: acquisition, retention & engagement (lifetime value), and secondarily in annual revenue.

You’ve been in those conversations with someone at work who just rubs you the wrong way. No matter what they say, it’s hard for you to agree with them. It’s hard to work with them.

Or maybe you’ve been the one that someone just won’t listen to. You tell them an answer, but it feels like they don’t want to hear it. Work stalls.

This webinar will explain the psychology behind the bad feelings that get in the way of work and teach you how to avoid having exchanges of information happen that way.

Post Covid, human behavior has changed significantly when it comes to philanthropy and support for nonprofits.

In-person events continue to struggle, it is harder and harder for nonprofits to find new donors, and overall, individual giving has declined for several years in a row.

This panel will dive into how the fundraising landscape has shifted and more importantly, how nonprofits are responding, and what might be better ways to respond? What will it really take to stop the downward trends? Let’s talk about it with big thinkers.

During important conversations, your bodily responses get involved. Facts fade away and the goal changes from moving the mission forward to “winning” the conversation. 

But we have choices. In these moments, we can be disciplined and use methods proven to advance the mission and protect relationships, or we can crash and burn but “win” our short-term point.

Mac Smith, Director of Sales & Marketing at 501(c) Services, brings to the table Turnkey’s VP of Psychological Strategy, Otis Fulton, PhD, and Turnkey COO Stacey Murrell as they tease apart how to navigate difficult conversations with better outcomes.

The Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation (PBTF) uncovered a crazy truth: if we don’t focus on revenue, the revenue shows up. If we focus on providing constituents with connection and service INSIDE our revenue products, revenue shows up. If we focus on the top of the funnel, the bottom of the funnel takes care of itself. Hear how PBTF transformed a Facebook Challenge Group into a community hub.

Watch and listen in “The Psychology of Auction Fundraising” as host Katrina VanHuss, Turnkey CEO, leads a panel discussion of experts with Event.Gives exploring the unconscious drivers at work during auctions. Called “auction fever,” people wind up paying much more than they should for items.

The ALS Association has ambitious plans to improve the lives of people with ALS. Leadership had to make sure everyone in the organization was pulling on the same rope, in the same direction. Learn how in this webinar.

Appealing to supporters’ identity and building community are key to ramping up revenue with Facebook Fundraising. Join GoodUnited’s Maria Clark and Turnkey’s Otis Fulton to dig into the psychology behind driving Facebook Fundraising.

Is your staff shying away from face-to-face work with others they did pre-COVID? Turns out, that’s happening at a lot of organizations.

How do you get 600 people registered for an auction, bidding, and paid-up fast while allowing them to maintain their comfortable distance at your in-person event as much as humanly possible? How do you flip to virtual without additional expense if the covid environment demands it?

Humans tend to focus on the short term. Strategic planning is often something “we don’t have time for here.” If that’s you, then now’s the time to change!

Join Turnkey’s social psychologist Otis Fulton and social good industry thought leader DJ Hampton to understand how to build your social good tribe. The pair will detail the social science behind what builds and drives hyper-engaged tribes versus not-very-interested crowds.

Suzanne Graney, Executive Director of Four Diamonds, and Kate Colgan, Executive Director of THON and a Penn State student, will describe the community-building and highly structured methods that release Penn State students’ creativity, leadership, and enthusiasm in pursuit of a cure.

For years social good has produced a plethora of events – fully systemizing the effort to produce more and more revenue. Except, it didn’t work. Acquisition kept getting harder. Retention kept getting lower. Event leadership kept losing their jobs. Why?

Embracing diversity, equity, and inclusion as a part of your organizational values is a way to make room for positive outcomes to grow within your organization and at your events.

Are you on the fence about Facebook fundraising? Have you shied away from investing in third-party applications because of a lack of data? Is leadership at your organization wanting to diversify and focus on frictionless fundraising experience?

Wondering how to move from a nonprofit organization to a for-profit company and still remain in a leadership role? How about the opposite?
