THINGS TO REMEMBER
Thank you for registering for MAGDA’s Annual Membership Meeting & Booking Conference. We are excited to spend time together at Chico! MAGDA’s conference is about connecting with like-minded professionals working throughout the Northwest region. We provide relevant content you can implement into your daily work life while introducing you to the most important resource of all, a network of peers. This is not your average learned affair. This event will be a respite from your routine, a chance to rejuvenate your passions, feel welcome and heard, gain a new perspective, and have fun! We look forward to sharing this with you. – Alissa Kost, Executive Director
WHAT INDIVIDUALS SHOULD BRING:
- BUSINESS CARDS – For post-conference recall.
- ORGANIZATIONAL MARKETING MATERIALS – I.E., Stickers, postcards, catalogs, t-shirts, posters, etc. We have tables full of loot for others to take back to their institutions as inspiration and to promote their fellow nonprofits!
- NOTEBOOK AND/ OR LAPTOP – just common conference wares.
- DONATION FOR SILENT AUCTION – MAGDA’s silent auction has been one of the most exciting parts of our conference! Participants bring hand-made, unique items from work or home including artworks of your own making, artworks from your personal collection, or from your organization’s gift shop or collection, art books, jewelry, home goods, or other inspired items! Bidding starts low, so leave your prized pieces at home. The buyers are fellow nonprofit professionals after all!
- EXHIBIT CALENDAR – If you plan to book or would like to consider booking a show please be prepared to select and stick to your dates. For a list of available exhibitions, click HERE.
- SPONSORS – Presentation notes, USB of slides/ images. If your organization is presenting an exhibition for tour, you will have 4 minutes and 5 slides per exhibition to present on Wednesday afternoon. A projector, podium, slide advancer, and microphone are available for use. Other needs? Please ask!
- RECREATION – Swimsuit, tennis shoes, fishing rod. The immersive hot springs and spa, beautiful hiking trails, world-class fly fishing, and more… Chico has it all! Feel free to utilize your downtime before/ after the conference to enjoy what the area has to offer. Oh, did I mention the after-hours shuffleboard tournament in the Saloon?
- ATTIRE – It could be 80 degrees it could be 40 degrees, you know the drill. Dress casually for the weather.
- GUESTS – Pups, kids, spouses – Bring ’em if you got ’em! Just don’t forget to notify the front desk who’s staying and Alissa if anyone is joining us for meals. There is a per-meal charge for guests. No dogs in the Conference room, please!
