DM Events LLC

Some organizations have switched to virtual or hybrid events allowing guests to "attend" online, if not in-person. Auction items are viewed via websites, sponsor logos accompany photo montages, and speakers stream their remarks. But, if you decide to hold your event indoors, take steps to ensure that your guests are comfortable within that environment.

Ask me, Debra Miller, how you can transform your typical gathering into a dynamic experience that allows participation from supporters, either remotely or in-person. Interesting web content, e-vites, and social media will keep everyone connected.

Big or small, your "don't miss" event deserves the commitment and affordability of an independent planner who can provide answers to your concerns and keep guests engaged. No more worries about how or where to hold your event, methods to promote it, the collateral you will need, or who to hire to coordinate the overall timeline and streaming options.

DM Events can coach you through the process or implement an entire plan based on the objectives you want to achieve - whether it's increasing participation via fundraising techniques, helping with communications, or adding special elements to keep your guests talking about your event in the days, weeks, and months to follow.

For in-person events, capture the theme with giveaways and decor reflecting the overall feel of the event while recognizing sponsors with branded items for guests. The simple centerpiece pictured here is a car air filter that DM Events created for an event in Indianapolis before the Indy500.

By hiring an independent consultant at a boutique firm like DM Events, you will receive timely responses as well as flexibility and fees that meet your budget. Since all of the event details and planning strategies are handled for you, including committee meetings, sponsorship concepts, promotional materials, and volunteer management, you can relax knowing your event is in good hands. 

For nonprofits, a special event can be the first introduction to their cause and an excellent building block toward future support and increased brand awareness. Connecting with individuals and corporate prospects can also lead to sustainable funding for your organization. Be strategic in getting the most support and participation from your donors. Debra's background in development can also help contribute strategically to your donation stream.

Not all events are complicated or expensive but experience and connections do count toward making your event a reality while staying within budget.
