Why Non-Endemic Sponsors Are Key to Your Event’s Growth 🌟 Traditionally, event sponsorships have relied heavily on endemic sponsors—those directly related to the industry. But to truly scale your event and attract a broader audience, you need to think outside the box. Non-endemic sponsors bring fresh perspectives, new audiences, and exciting opportunities for collaboration. They can help your event stand out in a crowded market and offer attendees a more diverse experience. At Orchestra Media, we’re experts at identifying and securing these unique sponsorship opportunities. Let’s broaden your market together! #EventMarketing #SponsorshipStrategy #OrchestraMedia #NonEndemicSponsors

Another initiative of new president Roger is revitalising our Club and increasing membership. It's no secret Rotary clubs around the world have struggled to retain members and attract new members. Terms of reference are: - To explore options that will revitalise membership of our Club. - To make recommendations to the RCW Board on the preferred pathway for the Club. - Report to Board by mid-September 2024. The first meeting of the group was yesterday (Tuesday). As part of kicking off the meeting, President Roger asked each member to say in five minutes what they think are the primary causes of declining membership, and what they think are the best opportunities to revitalise membership. A conversation about revitalising our Club also took place at the June 24 lunch meeting. Among the takeaways include: - Spreading good news stories about what our club is doing. - Inviting our club members to be speakers to learn about their expertise. - Instead of fellowship time - create ways to learn more about each other's experience & skills. - Involve other clubs in our project and our social events. It's a big project, but it's good to get the ball rolling. Stay tuned for more - and if you'd like to help, let us know! A great start too is joining our Club if you're not a member already! 😁

Event design for Biz events- including prospectus development - has to evolve SO QUICKLY… because change impacting the way we work isn’t slowing down. There’s no ‘going back’ to the flagship physical event, expo-hall mentality of 2019. We are serving newly diversified audiences in new ways - and we’ve learned too much to revert to 10x10s and swag bags stuffed with branded dongles and clicky pens. (Don’t gemme wrong. There’s also a better way to do branded gifting. That’s just fodder for a different post.) I’m stoked to join this conversation & share how Women In Product is adapting our approach - and our offerings - to meet the needs of our corporate supporters (who are ALSO navigating today’s new landscape.) I’m also looking forward to hearing about how other #eventprofs are innovating in their event sponsorships. Nobody has it ‘nailed forever and ever amen.’ That’s my favorite thing about events in the post-2020 years. Now it’s OBVIOUS that there’s no one best way to design experiences, no ‘forever’ right answer, and there’s so much hunger from the event community to figure out together how to move forward. I’m ready to talk dolla dolla bills, yo. I think about sponsors as a subgroup of attendees - our sponsors, just like our attendees, join our events because they want to equip women #productmanagers to thrive. Sponsorship fuels much of what we do in events - especially those of us in the nonprofit space. Come hang out with us on the 28th! I’ll be gabbing with Rachel Moore and friends. You’ll get tips for adding some updated zip🔥 to YOUR prospectus’ secret sauce. Oh, and if you work for a company in the digital product space and you care about recruiting and supporting your women PMs - your people should talk to my people. (sponsors@womenpm.org) We can help with that.
