TIMELINE SAMPLES | Event Day

CREATE A DAY-OF TIMELINE BEFORE YOUR EVENT & APPROVE IT

IMPORTANT TIMING NOTES:

The Marketplace: 2 Hours.  It ALWAYS runs two hours, and ALWAYS occurs before the seated part of your event.

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

Live Auction & Fashion Show: 1.5 hours

→ Fund a Cause:  should occur 1/2 to 2/3 into the auction, never at the end because audience loses enthusiasm, & never at the start because they’re not warmed up.  A "Heartfelt Story" (preferrably in video form) immediately precedes "Fund a Cause".  

If NO live auction & fashion show:  Event runs no longer than 2.5 hours
