The Saugeen Shores Chamber of Commerce and the Town of Saugeen Shores have partnered to host a series of workshops for event planners in the community. The second free workshop, made possible by the Community Foundation Grey Bruce, will be Marketing and Social Media for Events – How to Promote your Event in a Noisy Digital World.

The session will take place Thursday, November 5 from 7 to 9 p.m. in Rotary Hall at the Plex. The workshop, led by guest speaker Kirsty Stevenson, will cover the dos and don’ts of advertising your event through mainstream avenues, opportunities that you can find when you think outside the box, and how to effectively use digital media to get the most bang for your buck. Groups or individuals who are interested in attending the workshop are asked to RSVP by November 2, 2015 to specialevents@saugeenshores.ca.

The first workshop of the series, Grants and Funding, took place earlier this month and was well-
attended by local community and service groups. The workshops are aimed at bringing local event organizers new information and techniques to create, promote and grow community events in Saugeen Shores
