Marketing a Peer-to-Peer Fundraising CampaignHubSpot
Online fundraising campaigns can be tremendously effective for raising money and acquiring new donors, but they don't automatically succeed. Too many promising campaigns wind up missing the mark because they aren't rolled out and promoted properly. In this webinar you will learn the best practices that will help you tee up your next peer-to-peer fundraising campaign for maximum success!
From your website to social media, email to mobile messages, online to offline, multichannel strategies require coordination and creative thinking across teams and departments, and a focus on the core of your work beyond any one specific call to action. In this session, we will show you how to craft an online multichannel campaign plan to meet your mission and campaign goals, and how other organizations are successfully integrating multichannel efforts into their work. For example, what happens when you tie your Facebook posts to your online fundraising appeals? What about sending text messages connected to your email actions the next day? Multichannel strategies bring your staff together and connect your community across platforms for more targeted actions. This session provides highlights from the new book Social Change Anytime Everywhere: How to Implement Online Multichannel Strategies to Spark Advocacy, Raise Money, and Engage your Community by Allyson Kapin and Amy Sample Ward and gives you the next steps you need to start working to create real social change online and on the ground.
With 17 weeks left until Giving Tuesday, the time to start planning your End of Year campaign is now. Our fundraising and user experience experts discuss tips, trends, and strategies to jump-start your End of Year planning.
Webinar - How to Successfully Promote Your Year-End Fundraising Campaign - 20...TechSoup
Visit http://www.techsoup.org for donated technology for nonprofits and libraries!
After seeing thousands of campaigns, our presenters from CauseVox know that promoting your fundraiser the right way can help to ensure a successful campaign. This is especially the case as the year comes to an end and your fundraising efforts ramp up.
During this free webinar, we will share what we've learned over the years as the most effective ways to promote your year-end fundraising campaigns. Following, we'll have a live Q&A session to answer your questions and help you uncover the best promotion tatics for your campaign.
Here's what you'll learn:
-- The best ways to segment your supporters during year-end
-- Why you need a multi-channel approach to drive success
-- Best practices to leveraging email, social media, advertising, and more to promote your campaign
Learn how other non-profit organizations have created a closed loop system that tracks response, captures donor motivations, and helps increase participation and revenues. Leave with a clear picture of how to develop your own communication plan that will connect, engage, and convert more donors.
This session explores the Fundraising Effectiveness Project report commissioned by AFP and the Urban Institute. The dismal news in this report can and should be an eye opener for every nonprofit engaged in fundraising.
We will focus on the root causes of poor retention rates, and offer tips for improvement based on the principles of Dr. Adrian Sargeant and Tom Ahern: two world-renowned authorities on building donor loyalty. Sargeant and Ahern’s principles are based upon years of research conducted in the sector and can be used by any organization, whether you are a one-person shop or a large department. We will show examples of their principles in action. The results can be astounding when put into daily use!
Learning Outcomes:
Be familiar with current research on donor retention and how an increase or decrease can impact your bottom line
Understand how to calculate your donor retention rate
Learn new donor communications techniques in order to improve donor loyalty and retention

Training by Devin Thorpe of the Your Mark on the World Center (YourMarkOnTheWorld.com).
In a world of overwhelming amounts of data flying at us daily, it's key for non-profit marketers to understand how to sort through the mountain of information out there and take actions on email, social and web for our organizations.
Our hero's journey:
- Start what with really matters, goals or actions we are asking supporters to take on behalf of our non-profits.
- Communicate how our marketing and communications work is adding value to those organizational goals and ultimately mission.
- Focus on some key data points to build...
- A super dashboard that will provide a snap shot of how we are making progress.
Ultimately, We should strive to measure these efforts as consistently as possible to make better choices with our marketing and communications efforts.

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
