Our client, Make-A-Wish North Texas, planned a virtual event, Inspiring Hope, in place of their annual fundraising gala to unite all Make-A-Wish supporters in the surrounding Texas area. They wanted to create a memorable experience and ensure that their virtual guests felt connected to the event and its important cause, even though they could not gather like they normally do. Alford Media delivered full turn-key solutions to create this engaging virtual event.
Alford Media managed the entire production from our studios and control room. The show ran with a mix of live and pre-recorded content allowing for a higher production value, more emotive content, and the ability to perfect all the pieces of the event.
Alford set up a pre-event page and registration for Make-A-Wish North Texas to promote their event, collect attendee data, and further communicate event updates and information. The Make-A-Wish Inspiring Hope event space main page held the event agenda, featured sponsor portlets, an event program, agenda, and a link to their main donations site.
Using one of our control rooms, we live streamed a pre-party virtual wine tasting for VIP attendees. We live streamed the main event from our production studios and control room and Make-A-Wish used our Chat and an aggregated social media wall features to engage virtual attendees.
Alford Media assisted in the entire virtual event from conception to reality with full turn-key services and streamlined control of their event. We helped them create an engaging virtual event to connect 380 attendees and drive donations, in which our client was able to surpass their goal for net donations projected for this event.
