Rebecca Elcome, MD of Coveted Creates event consultancy, speaks with experienced events managers, Samuel Morton (Freedom from Torture) and Sabrina Bell (War Child), about their learnings from recent projects. We’ll argue for and against the traditional gala ball, as well as providing alternative event solutions to help organisations raise vital funds by engaging high net worth individuals.
Key learnings from this session:
- Things to consider when planning a new special event for your organisation
