Come on Out. Connect. Collaborate! 

Join us in Chicago when the National Arts Marketing, Development and Ticketing Conference convenes for a uniquely collaborative event.

With the proliferation of new ways to reach potential audiences and donors, how can you know which ones will be the most effective?  We are coming together this July to explore just that, with leaders in the field who are experts on what’s working now and what will work to find, retain and upgrade the audiences and donors of the future. With fresh, hands-on interactive exercises, more of the vital content our Arts Reach delegates love, a special Digital Marketing Track and powerful programs with luminaries like Bob Harlow (who is sponsored by the Wallace Foundation), this is the event that will rocket-boost your marketing and fundraising efforts. Don’t miss it!

Give us two days, and we’ll give you the tools and action plan you can put to use immediately to fire up your audiences and donors. And we’ll have a great time in the process!  If you’re coming from out of town, make sure to enjoy the weekend in Chicago!

What You and Your Team Will Gain:
  • Uncover Hot Digital Marketing Trends for Greater Sales and Engagement
  • Upgrade Donors to Larger Gifts Through High-Touch Stewardship
  • Maximize Contributed and Earned Revenue by Understanding Your Patrons' Journey
  • Get First-Time Buyers to Return Again and Again
  • Tap Into the Millennial Mindset to Build Your Future Audience and Donor Base
  • Diversify Your Audiences with the Latest Strategies That are Working
  • Find Out What’s Hot and What’s Not in Content Marketing
  • And Much, Much More!
 
Bring your crew. We’ll cut you a triple-fantastic deal.

The key word is Collaborate. If you’re going to chart a bold new course for your organization, it’s best to have the entire team on board at the inception. That’s why you can get the lowest price and bring two colleagues for free when you register by July 19. That’s 3 for the price of 1. Each additional registration is just $199.

Can’t spare the entire team all at once? Understood! We allow 2 colleagues to time-share one registration (you can schedule 1 on Tuesday/1 on Wednesday; 1 in the morning/1 in the afternoon, etc.—whatever works for you).

Want to bring the whole office? No problem!

If you’re having trouble deciding who to bring, we have the answer. You can bring up to 10 people from your organization for one very low price. Why not make everyone happy? Make it easy and get the 10-Pack Supersaver Group Rate. We are going to have fun, and the more the merrier!

Bring the boss.

Change starts at the top. So – regardless of whether your CEO, Executive Director, Dean, Artistic Director, Managing Director, Managing Producer or President is registered to attend the full conference – we’d like them to be our complimentary guest for all sessions on Wednesday, July 31, from noon to five, which includes our networking reception, roundtable discussions over lunch and then an Afternoon Intensive with audience development guru Bob Harlow, sponsored by The Wallace Foundation. It’s that important!

    EleeHub was founded in 2021 to address a critical gap in the nonprofit marketing domain. It became evident that most nonprofits could be categorized into three groups: those unaware of the Google Ad Grant, those who had attempted to utilize it but were deterred by its complexity, and those engaged with costly consultants yielding minimal or expensive outcomes. EleeHub emerged as a beacon for small to mid-sized nonprofits seeking an efficient, cost-effective, and impactful marketing strategy.

    As a certified Google Partner, EleeHub champions the belief that all nonprofits should fully utilize the Google Ad Grant, with professional assistance, to optimize their outcomes. The EleeHub team brings together over thirty years of collective expertise in nonprofit marketing and Google Ads, positioning itself as a leading force in the sector.  https://www.eleehub.com/
