SUMMARY:WEBINAR - Designing Event Experiences That Captivate Attention and Stick in People’s Minds Long After They Leave
DESCRIPTION:Make Your Events Unforgettable (For All the Right Reasons) \nMost events are perfectly organised… and completely forgettable. Not because the team lacked skill\, but because the experience wasn’t designed to make anyone feel anything. \nToday’s attendees don’t want another agenda. They want a moment. They want meaning. They want something that cuts through the noise of every other “good but forgettable” event they’ve attended this year. \nThis session challenges the way associations plan events by default. You’ll explore why most programs fail to hold attention\, why emotion is your most underused design tool\, and why people only remember the moments you intentionally craft — not the dozens of hours spent polishing logistics. \nUsing storytelling\, behavioural insight\, experience design and the neuroscience of memory\, we’ll unpack how to design events that don’t just run well\, but hit\, resonate\, and stay with people long after they’ve left the room. \n📅 Wednesday 22 April 2026 \n🕘 11.00am – 11.45am AEST / 1.00pm – 1.45pm NZST \n📍 Zoom  \nYou’ll walk away able to: \n\nStop designing events people forget and start designing moments they feel\nUse emotion and story as strategic tools\, not afterthoughts\nCapture attention in a world where distraction wins by default\nBuild experiences that people talk about — not just attend\nTurn any event into something memorable\, meaningful\, and impossible to copy\n\nIf you want your events to matter\, you have to design for memory — not for comfort.

SUMMARY:WEBINAR - Finding Funding and Winning Grants (Interactive)
DESCRIPTION:Fundraising is the lifeblood of most community organisations\, yet it’s an often-neglected task. Most organisations draw the majority of their income from just one or two sources. That’s a dangerous strategy. If one of those sources dries up\, you could quickly face a budget black hole. \nTo survive and thrive in a changing world\, a not-for-profit organisation must develop a fundraising plan that rests on these seven pillars of fundraising: \n\nGrants\nDonations\nCrowdfunding\nMembership\nEvents\nSales\nSponsorship\n\nWith around $80 billion given out in grants across Australia each year\, this session will take an in-depth look at writing a proposal to ensure your organisation is getting its share of the money on offer. \nThis course is designed for grassroots community groups that want to find out where to find funding\, and how to win it.

SUMMARY:WEBINAR - Turn AI From a Buzzword Into a Practical Everyday Advantage Across Your Team
DESCRIPTION:Learn the AI Breakthroughs Associations Are Already Using (And Start Applying Them Now) \nMost AI conversations are stuck in the past — still circling prompts\, shortcuts\, and the same predictable examples.

You’ll see behind the curtain of projects we’ve already built with clients across the sector\, and learn how to apply the same principles inside your own organisation. \nThis session isn’t about the AI everyone else is talking about. It’s about the AI that’s actually changing work. \n📅 Date: Wednesday 13 May 2026 \n🕓 Time: 11.00am – 11.45am AEST / 1.00pm – 1.45pm NZDT \n📍 Zoom \nYou’ll walk away able to: \n·       Understand the emerging AI shifts reshaping association operations \n·       See real examples of AI in action from organisations just like yours \n·       Identify practical workflows you can implement immediately \n·       Experiment with new capabilities without intimidating your team \n·       Move beyond prompts into meaningful\, strategic\, everyday impact \nBy the end\, you won’t just know what’s possible\, you’ll have seen it\, felt it\, and be ready to act on it.
