do get publicity!!!!
50% of the time dedicated to preparing for the conference should entail gathering media attention. I mean like 100-200 hours of pure commitment to this and this alone.
For sure - anyone with experience handling the media that would like to volunteer some time would be appreciated -even to give us less experienced ppl with the time some tips/info? I have tried emailing AU media outlets in the past and go zero responses.
The more of a "community" project this is the stronger it will be, so far everyone involved is a volunteer
Perhaps you can post the emails of some of the outlets and we can all encourage them to cover the event. Also provide us with some brief details of what you would like us to mention in terms of date, location, time, # of attendees, purpose, etc. once these are finalized so that we can include these in the emails.
