Thanks Claire and Bloomerang for addressing the ROI issue. As a 20-year nonprofit event producer I have spent a heck of a lot of time trying to guide organizations through the ROI analysis.

A fundraising event is a marketing opportunity for your organization because every time you promote the event you are promoting your organization and raising awareness. Every time you have a committee meeting or volunteer opportunity to work at the event it is a stewardship opportunity as you are spending quality one-on-one time with people who already have an affinity for your organization. I agree that events take a lot of time and resources but they are an important part of a healthy long-term development plan.
