For those in the know, Tacoma Venues & Events (TVE) is rolling out the red carpet for community event organizers with their latest SkillShops series, "Maximizing Reach: How to Get People to Your Event." Set to go live via Zoom on October 20 at 11am, the virtual workshop is aimed at sharing the secret sauce for growing event attendance and engaging more effectively with audiences. And here's the kicker - it's completely free.
The upcoming SkillShop promises to bring together a powerhouse panel of local Marketing and PR mavens, including Aleecia Ramsey-Gonzalez from Tacoma City Theaters, Alex Domine of JayRay, Hillary Chynoweth and Jerrol Anonuevo both from TVE. Each panelist is slated to lay down their knowledge on how to elevate community functions, cultural soirees, or even citywide extravaganzas. According to TVE, session topics will be a crash course in branding, effective marketing, and communication strategizing, digital tool utilization, and the art of stretching a budget without snapping it.
It's not just about throwing an event but ensuring it echoes with the community. "Whether planning a community gathering, cultural celebration, or citywide festival, this session will provide resources and inspiration to broaden reach and ensure events resonate with audiences," the TVE statement revealed. The workshop aims to be a beacon for those navigating the tricky waters of event planning, helping them to craft a clear event identity and foster productive engagements with community partners.
For those mulling over how to make the most of minimal resources, the SkillShops series is designed to be an oasis of information, education, and support. It's an ongoing initiative that TVE has carved out, hoping to empower those at the reins of organizing communal events. Participants are also invited to dig into the repository of past session resources and sign up for updates to keep a steady pulse on the ever-changing event landscape. The whole trove of resources and the option for registration can be found on the Tacoma Venues & Events website.
