Latency is so last year. Now, we’re on to audio.

At least once a year, I’ll share tips about audio systems for fundraising auctions.  (I include links to some past posts under the video.) The reason being is that good audio is a crucial element to a charity auction, but I personally find it difficult to convey its intricacies. Even so, I am giving it a shot in today's video. Over the last two years of virtual galas, our technology issues have been focused on connectivity, latency, and video -- NOT audio. With so much attention on ... Read On >

What is latency in a virtual gala? (And why it matters.)

Virtual galas have their own jargon, and one word that quickly became a common term in spring 2020 was the word “latency.” For the purposes of a virtual gala, it refers to the delay between what is happening "live" and what the audience sees via the livestream.

Which hire should happen first: Should they lock in the fundraising auctioneer they want to hire? Or sign a contract for the auction software? There's no question in my mind -- LOCK IN THE VIRTUAL AUCTIONEER! There are some solid reasons as to why I suggest this approach, and I talk about them in today's blog post video. Watch it below.

Apr 07 Virtual Gala Fundraiser due to Covid-19

Your virtual auction event is already changing

It's been about one month since COVID-19 checked into the gala scene and prompted a wave of cancellations and reschedules.  In that short period of time, the ingenuity of our industry has been on full display.  Virtual gala fundraisers are mutating more rapidly than the virus! In five weeks, virtual auction events have pivoted twice. 1. First they shifted from in-person galas to livestreams.  Gala chairs hosted these high-tech, scaled-down events in traditional auction venues ... Read On >
