Additional Timing Information: 

Marketplace--2 Hours:

The Marketplace lasts two hours. It ALWAYS runs two hours and ALWAYS occurs before the seated part of your event.

Why? Because guests never return to the marketplace after the show. And if your vendors aren't given enough time, they will be very upset and not participate in future events.  


Following the Marketplace, there are three program options:

The Seated Program with Live Auction and Fashion Show--1.5 hours:

The Seated Program, Live Auction (with Fund a Cause cash call) and Fashion Show run for about 1.5 hours.

The entire event with Live Auction and Fashion Show runs about 3.5 hours.

The Seated Program with Live Auction and NO Fashion Show--1 hour and ten minutes:

The Speaking Program Live Auction (with Fund a Cause cash call) and Fashion Show run for about 1 hour and ten minutes.

The entire event with Live Auction and Fashion Show runs about 2.25 hours.

The NO Seated Program NO Live Auction and NO Fashion Show:

 If there's NO Live Auction and Fashion Show, the entire event runs no longer than 2.5 hours.

Event Schedule:

Include your Schedule of Events on your webpage and in any pre-event e-blasts. It's also helpful to provide the Schedule of Events on clear signage near the event check-in/entrance, in your marketplace, and in your auction program.
