Pandemic Schmandemic. Our 2020 Conference ROCKED
What our 2020 Do Gooders Conference attendees said:
"AMAZING DAY! It was good for the soul and the brain! <3"
"Thanks for all your efforts in putting together a great conference and changing to virtual on short notice. The mixture of speakers was great."
"Keep it up and bring more next year! Awesome job!"
"You got Vu frickin' Le AND Joan Garry to a conference in ND!!!"
"Amazing work! Great speakers, great information, spoke the truth about how things will look moving forward! Thank you all for your passion to invest in non-profits in our community!"
"The whole [event] was slightly unexpected. This was the first live, virtual conference I have attended."
"I thought it might be a long day, but it definitely kept my attention. It was great to hear from some big name speakers who probably wouldn't have been part of the in person event. The fluidity and excellent pacing of a virtual multi-speaker conference. Shows commitment and professionalism and AWESOMENESS."
"Each speaker did great and brought something different to the conference and it went off without a hitch!"
"The conference was amazing!"
"Excellent engagement and interaction, even in the virtual format."
"Local music/talent and just overall no glitches to the day! Production was amazing and so great to see live! We started running virtual programs 10 days after suspending programs. It takes a lot of talent. It was great to see how production of a large event is possible virtually!"
"The level of interaction in the chat post throughout the conference. My favorite part of conferences is networking, wandering around and meeting new people. I felt like I got to do that a little bit and even made a few new connections - so I got to network anyway!"
"[Amazing] that it happened earlier than what was scheduled on the calendar prior to Covid-19. I didn't expect the event planner and Mobile Pro guy to be up there giving us tips for virtual events. That was great and helpful and took some of the fear of the unknown out of this idea that we might have to do a virtual event."
"Everything went so smooth! New normal! This was the first Do Gooders conference that I have attended. So the entire event was unexpected. But the most unexpected thing was the technology and lack of issues."
COVID made us tweak. And we rocked it!
A Great Pivot to Virtual
What we needed when COVID-19 hit, was direction on how to build leadership, create momentum, help for staying positive. Joan Garry & Ve Le led a speaker lineup of leading voices in nonprofit fundraising, board development and community activism that helped us with our path forward.
It. Was. Awesome.
