Every fundraiser has a story about the moment something didn’t go as planned. 👀

At Cocktails & Calamities 2026: *The Art of Learning from Your Mistakes*, we’re creating a space for nonprofit professionals to share those experiences — and the lessons that came from them.

We’re still looking for presenters for this year’s event! Whether it was an event mishap, donor challenge, campaign flop, leadership lesson, or unexpected pivot, your experience could help others grow.

What if your fundraising event could do more than raise money?

Join us on June 9 for an insightful session with Trace Kingham exploring how nonprofits can transform traditional fundraising events into meaningful experiences that deepen donor engagement, strengthen connections to mission, and create impact that lasts beyond the event itself.

This conversation will challenge organizations to rethink event design — moving from logistics-driven gatherings to purpose-driven experiences that inspire giving and build lasting relationships.
