Keynote Presentation: "How To Get Attention for Your Event"

A lot has changed about the places you used to rely on to raise awareness and sell tickets, in both traditional and social media. Karen Unland, of Taproot Edmonton, explains how best to deal with the new media environment, the differences between attention you earn and attention you pay for, and how to determine the mix that's right for you.
