What if you could turn every event you host into an unforgettable experience that leaves attendees feeling inspired and connected?

I’m hanging out with Joey Goon today, President of Utopia Experience, and we’re  uncovering ALL the secrets to creating impact and genuine connections at events.

Joey takes us behind the scenes of a high-profile mastermind event in San Diego with celebrities and influencers, and how an event structure and schedule led to a successful impromptu $100,000 fundraising effort for a terminally ill girl.

Joey and I discuss why having a top-notch production team matters, and how integrating psychological safety and neuroscience principles into event planning can create transformative experiences.

Looking to elevate your virtual and hybrid events? We also explore effective strategies for using Zoom breakout rooms and how Joey approaches attendee matchmaking.

There are so many valuable tips in this episode for transforming your events into powerful, impactful experiences!

And, don’t forget to register for my Monthly Giving Summit coming up on Sept 5-6 from 1-4 pm ET - the ONLY virtual event designed to help nonprofits build, grow, and sustain subscriptions for good. RSVP for FREE here!
