That's a very useful list, thanks

Don't suppose anyone knows any similar sites/resources for the UK?

Cheers, Jon

I also speak on marketing for small business and integrate Web 2.0 at every opportunity. Here are a few more ideas for promoting your event:

Internal communications at the venue or organization where you'll be speaking, such as:
--Posting on bulletin boards
--Providing collateral for pick-up at reception, inclusion with materials or on marketing table at other workshops
--Announcements in venue's newsletter/calendar
--Live announcements at prior events

Gorilla: distribute postcard or flyer at coffee shops, supermarkets, etc., depending on the audience you're trying to reach.

Promote through related organizations that get same audience (sponsor, advertise, announce; add to calendar). Build relationships with these other orgs.

Another online calendar for small business: incbiznet.com

In Seattle area, post to:
www.iloveseattle.org, Seattle Times, and seattle24x7.com

...and finally, contribute info to related social networking sites (in addition to Facebook). For small business networking sites, visit: http://www.blockbeta.com/social-networking/

A great way to promote your event is to post it on Zvents: http://www.zvents.com. Zvents is the local search engine for things to do. Because Zvents partners with media publishers to power their local listings, each listing on Zvents is syndicated to over 200+ media partners with a much better chance of being picked up by Google and Yahoo! in natural search results. For example, if an event is listed on Zvents, when you do a "local search" for "REI Mountain View," you'll notice that the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd rankings are naturally the REI store. However, the 4th and 5th rankings are associated with San Jose Mercury News (one of Zvents' media partners). Zvents currently powers some of the nation's largest media companies including The New York Times Regional Media Group, MediaNews Group Interactive, and Freedom Interactive.
