The New Communicators is a three-day series of events exploring the ways we communicate with each other.

Events are created by anyone and anyone can attend. It is an open forum for discussion, education and inspiration.

This year, let's explore the concept of Reciprocity.

Event Submission is Open

Posted: August 5th, 2010 | Author: The New Communicators | Filed under: News | No Responses »

Event submission opened on Monday. Here are a few things to think about.

1) RSVP

Once you post your event, we will create an event on Upcoming and insert a link to it on your event page here on The New Communicators site. That way you can keep an eye how many people are thinking about coming to your event. If need to keep a limit on the amount of attendees, be sure to note that in your event description.

2) Who Approved This?

There is no formal submission process, no committee to approve your event. Once you post it on the event schedule, it is out there for all to see. The responsibility is on you to follow through with the event.

3) Location is everything

It is very important that you secure your venue and communicate directly with the managers of that location. If the venue is small, you may want to put a cap on the RSVP list.

4) Tell your friends to tell their friends

Get your event in as early as possible so there is time to promote it. Widening the reach and awareness of your event will lead to a more rich and diverse discussion with new and interesting people. You want that, don’t you?

5) Stuff Happens

If you run into a challenge with your event and need some advice or if you need to cancel or edit your event posting, let us know. We are happy to help out anyway we can.

Above all, have fun and enjoy the experience. I know organizing things and speaking in front of people can be scary sometimes. On a personal level, The New Communicators is a way for me to confront those fears in my own life. Believe me, if you care about something it’s worth the effort.
