One of the most powerful ways to promote your event is to give it a voice and a personality. If your event can "speak for itself" it becomes an entity completely separate from any event organizer or organization and creates a brand attendees will start talking to and following. The best way to create this event "persona"? Social media! Create a Facebook page, Twitter profile, Google+ page, Pinterest account and more to give your event an outlet to be creative, funny, informative, sarcastic or wh

In looking at event creation processes across the industry we noticed one consistent, glaring problem; the space where you edited your event page was completely separate from the page itself. In other words, you could not tell what your creation and edits would like without be forced to go to another page to see them.
