I think everyone is just kind of waiting to see what happens, doing the best they can, and taking it day by day. Because a lot of the organizations I work with are direct service organizations, helping people with a variety of challenges who really need the help. And especially now with everything going on in our government, aren't getting it any other way. 27:23 - A lot of people say like, oh, we work all year to have this great gala. People love it. But then sometimes the people who are there don't hear from you again until you're hosting that event again the next year. That's fine, maybe they love your event, and they come every year. But is that bringing them closer to your mission at all? Is that deepening the relationship at all? Not really. So I think what a lot of organizations need to do is not just say what's gonna happen at this event, but what's gonna happen after this event? What is that follow-up gonna look like? Where are they on their journey with our organization, and where do we want them to be? And once you say where we want them to be, and that may be different for different attendees, once you say where you want them to be, how are we gonna get them there? And not just forget about them until the next year, but really think about what that journey looks like. 29:53 - I think that ends up being a big pain point because people are pulled into planning events who really don't have time to do it. And then the final, I would say the final, like really big problem I see with events is some events, like a 5K, you can expect to kind of go have a great time and walk away maybe not knowing that much about the organization. And that's okay sometimes for that sort of event, but for other kinds of events, you really need to focus on how you're communicating your mission at many, many points throughout the event because you want people to not just have a great time, but be inspired, feel motivated to give, feel motivated to engage more deeply.
