Annual event
| would advise you to think about some kind of annual event that brings together
your business and philanthropic interests, i.e. an intimate and high level summit
or conference. The best events of this nature clearly demonstrate:
¢ The convening power of the host
¢ Your interest and expertise in a range of subjects
¢ Your network that your clients and acquaintances greatly value
¢ The connections made between your guests
¢« That you are undaunted by the negative publicity, it is ‘business as usual’

gathering focused on a subject of interest to these core constituencies.
