WEBINAR - Strategic Planning (Interactive)
2026-03-31 13:00 - 16:00 (Australia/Sydney)
Who really has time for strategic planning? There is so much going on within our organisations that demands our attention. It’s tempting to leave strategic planning languishing on the back burner.
But strategic planning shouldn’t be an afterthought. Decisions we make in today’s board meetings will reach well into our future. In the absence of a clear strategic plan, its unlikely to be a well-informed decision-making process. If you’re not forward planning, the future may not thank you!
In this interactive webinar, we’ll explore the benefits of simple strategic planning and look specifically at:

components of an effective strategic plan
the interplay between board strategic planning and day-to-day operations
strategic planning in the context of organisational effectiveness
establishing SMART objectives with measurable metrics
environment scanning for better strategic planning

Streamlines fundraising by offering prize draws to organisations and causes of any size.

*Note – Fundraising permit only held in NSW so far, ALL other States and Territories to be added ASAP.*
ACFP is an Australian Owned fundraising platform that streamlines fundraising by consolidating the supporters from multiple fundraising causes into the one draw, not only increasing the available prize pool, but also reducing or completely eliminating their fundraising burden to allow organisations to concentrate on their core mission without the added stresses of fundraising logistics.
Australian Community Fundraising Partners Ltd is a Not-For-Profit (Zero Profit) Charitable Fundraising Organisation.
They fundraise for and provide funding directly to:
– Small Community Groups, Teams, Clubs, Schools, Charities and Charitable Causes who may be finding it hard to fundraise enough or at all due to their size, location and reach.
As a Zero Profit Organisation ACFP takes no payments, has no held bank accounts or investments for profit. They are run and managed completely by volunteers, and 100% of any donated funds are passed on to the intended cause.
ACFP is able to provide a massive 65% of the income from ticket sales directly to the partner responsible for that sale, with NO extra costs. Any applicable taxes, if required at all, are paid by each partner on the donations and sponsorship they receive from the sale of their tickets on this website.
ALL tickets in the ACF Community Art Union are $2. ACFP guarantee that a minimum of 65% of EVERY SALE is forwarded directly to supporting your chosen School, community group, sporting club or charity.
For example, a $100 ticket bundle breakdown:
– $65 to your chosen cause
– $15 prize pool
– $10 GST
– $1.50 to $3.50 is 1.5% to 3.5% charged as online payment fees, out of the remaining $6.50 to $8.50.
ACF also pays all other cost for both ACF and ACFP Ltd, including applicable Tax to the ATO.
ACFP Ltd supplies the prizes out of the held 15%.
It’s 100% free for ANY community cause to partner with ACFP, and the more tickets sold means more funds raised for good causes in NSW.

WEBINAR - Designing Event Experiences That Captivate Attention and Stick in People’s Minds Long After They Leave
2026-04-22 11:00 - 12:00 (Australia/Sydney)
Make Your Events Unforgettable (For All the Right Reasons)
Most 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.
Today’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.
This 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.
Using 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.
📅 Wednesday 22 April 2026
🕘 11.00am – 11.45am AEST / 1.00pm – 1.45pm NZST
📍 Zoom
You’ll walk away able to:

Stop designing events people forget and start designing moments they feel
Use emotion and story as strategic tools, not afterthoughts
Capture attention in a world where distraction wins by default
Build experiences that people talk about — not just attend
Turn any event into something memorable, meaningful, and impossible to copy

If you want your events to matter, you have to design for memory — not for comfort.
