Check out this interesting guide from?@bizzabo about how AI can be used to support event planning, branding, and marketing. AI can be utilized to generate silent auction descriptions, source event speakers, and even market events on social media. It's been interesting to learn how AI can streamline many aspects of event management, but it doesn't replace good old human brainstorming, networking, or creativity! How does your company use AI in your events work? https://lnkd.in/dms2XuvU

La Colaborativa partnered with Saphier Events to elevate the Grand Opening of their Survival Center with a Community Block Party and an Inaugural gala, held in their new building. La Colaborativa is a Latina-led organization serving as a reliable and bold ally to Latinx immigrants in the Greater Boston area by developing and implementing a range of programs, initiatives and campaigns to uplift the community. The Community Event brought together community members, supporters, and families to celebrate with carnival games, a petting zoo, face painting, yard games, and much more! The Gala celebrated the Grand Opening of La Colaborativa’s state-of-the-art Survival Center opening in Chelsea, MA. The night was filled with lively entertainment, delicious cuisine, and an empowering speaking program.

The Saphier Events team was tasked with revitalizing the annual Make-A-Wish? Massachusetts and Rhode Island Gala. We brought the event to the SoWa Power Station, Boston’s newest raw venue where we were recently named to the preferred vendors list. We partnered with a favorite caterer and AV team to bring their mission to life! From the creative tablescapes, to custom star auction paddles, a 100 item silent auction, to an hour long heart tugging program, the Saphier Events team had a hand in every single aspect of the event.? For 10 months, we worked side by side with the development team, event committee, organizational leadership and board, to mine information about past event successes and misses. We wanted this event to represent the best of the past as they celebrated 40 years of wishes in Boston. The event site also offered us some unique budget saving opportunities. We used the caterer to serve appetizers and our main course, but then leveraged relationships to bring in donated desserts from 6 amazing vendors and a fully donated bar hosted by 90+ CELLARS, The The Boston Beer Company and Good Dogg Seltzer. We made the most of the night by offering signature mocktails and cocktails with custom blue cotton candy glitter bombs from one of our favorite women owned small businesses: Art of Sucre. With David “Big Papi” Ortiz and Wish Families onstage, their team brought in a record setting $1.1 million in donations for the event and set the stage for years to come. We have continued to expand our partnership with MAW and planned 3 events in 2024 while looking ahead to 2025.
