Events have a lot to offer your organization. They bring more awareness, opportunities to fundraise, time for engagement and networking, and can even boost supporter recruitment and retention. Having great event management software and practices in place is key to making these occasions a success—but so is attracting the right attendees. To reach potential event participants, get them to your registration page, and inspire them to attend, you’ll need a compelling digital marketing strategy.
