Launch Forum
Watch Party
Did someone say Watch Party?
The Launch Forum is your opportunity to tap into the latest benchmarking insights and set your fundraising strategy up for success. One of our members recently called the Launch Forum “fundraising Christmas” – and we couldn’t agree more!
Many of our members host Launch Forum Watch Parties – a fun, collaborative way to watch, reflect, and plan as a team. It’s a great way to get the most out of the day! What’s more, this year we’re giving out prizes!
7 top tips for hosting a great Launch Forum Watch Party
1. Map your game plan
Before the big day, review the agenda and highlight key sessions. Decide who’s attending what, and set clear goals for what you want to take away.
2. Make it festive and fun
Bring the party vibes! Think balloons, themed outfits, or even data-inspired costumes. A little creativity can turn a day of insights into something truly memorable.
3. Keep your team fuelled
Snacks and drinks are a must. A coffee station, snack bar, or lunch delivery can help keep energy levels high and minds sharp.
4. Start a live team chat
Use tools like Slack, Teams, or WhatsApp to keep the conversation flowing throughout the day. Share standout moments, drop in quick reflections, or tag teammates with big ideas.
5. Ask questions in real time
Encourage your team to get involved by submitting questions during sessions. It’s a rare chance to hear directly from experts and peers in the sector.
6. Plan a post-event debrief
Set time aside soon after the forum to unpack what you’ve learned. Tools like an ‘effort vs reward’ matrix can help turn great ideas into real action.
7. Share the fun — and win!
We want to see your party in action! Snap a few photos and send them our way. The best pics will win a hamper of goodies for your team.
So, put your party-planning hat on and we look forward to seeing you very soon
