  • Would you like to profit from businesses that never advertise with you?
  • Do you want your newspaper to be the focal point of your community?
  • Are you looking for ways to connect with Generations Y … and Z?
  • Can you be wacky, have fun AND make money all at the same time?

If you answered “Yes!” to any of the above (although we suspect you said “yes” to all four questions), you’ll want to attend the American Press Institute’s “Event Marketing: Creative Entrepreneurship,” which will be held Friday, March 12, in Atlanta.

The one-day regional workshop will arm you with strategies and dozens of success stories to help you turn events into a powerful revenue stream.

Find out:

  • The essential steps for designing the most creative events that will have the greatest appeal to your market ... and put real dollars on the bottom line.
  • How event marketing departments can generate substantial revenue … including some that make between $2 million and $4 million annually.
  • Ways to capture new audiences and enhance your brand and value proposition through events.
  • The keys to successfully creating and staging an event … and what pitfalls to avoid.
  • How to harness the power of social media to market your events.

Join us to learn how events can drive new revenue, enhance your brand position, create unique promotions and reach out to your community.

Can't join us in Atlanta? The "Event Marketing" workshop also will be held:

March 26 in suburban Boston

Additional event marketing workshops will be held in April and May 2010 in regional sites.
