NONPROFIT WORKSHOP
After over 400 successful electronic silent auctions in Europe, Australia and Asia, IML North America will be hosting a roundtable in Chicago to share the latest tips and trends in the fundraising world. In addition to IML's knowledge of the industry, you will also hear from Auction Results founder & President, David Goodman.
You will learn how to:
create a competitive bidding environment
make pledging a fun and engaging process
replace paper-based silent auction bidding
streamline the management of your fundraiser
keep your guests bidding throughout the evening
increase the total amount pledged
"We were blown away by the number of people who responded this year. Not only did the technology help us increase the night's overall revenue, but it was easy and fun for everyone to get involved. Whether they were able to donate $10,000 or $10, each person was able to make a contribution, and do so anonymously. And when they saw their respective section's total rising in real time... the energy in the room was electric. I think that in this economy finding new ways to engage more guests in the fundraising process can make a real difference."
Mark Bezos, SVP Development & Communications at Robin Hood

It’s about listening,” said IML director Ray Hansen. “You have to listen and pay attention, and you’ve got to contribute. You have to start giving people valuable information. Otherwise they’re not listening to you.”
