Your event should be a Content Gold Mine! Do you make the most of it?

You've spent a lot of time, money, and energy organizing your next big event.

-> How are you going to make sure you get the attendance and sponsorship that you need to make it worthwhile?

-> How are you going to capitalize on your investment and get the results after the event that you had hoped for?

Even the best planned events create a huge amount of momentum that is often lost once people leave the venue -- or at least once people stop talking about the event a few days later.

New from North Country Media Network - Event Authority Packages, giving your organization, as well as your guests, speakers, and sponsors a permanent platform with high quality digital assets - a compilation podcast episode, with mini "bonus" episodes and reels for your digital channels and across the North Country Media Network.

Listen to the most recent episode of the Building Success Stories podcast, "The Power of Local: 6 Upstate NY Business Leaders on Why Community is Everything" to see the impact we can make. Link in comments. At The Gathering at Moreau Commons last week, organized by Scott A Cross of Crosspoint Realty, Ann Donnelly spoke to Brandon Crist, ChFC® of Equitable , Nicholas Molik of Adirondack Technical Solutions, Karen Carey of Ruby Red Road , Alison Bohannon of Kingpin's Alley Family Fun Center, Michael Borgos of Borgos and Del Signore, P.C., and Kevin Porpora of Arrow Bank. (Link in comments to watch/listen to the episode.)

Keep people talking about your event -- and building on the momentum that was created there - to achieve the impact that will maximize the authority of your event and of your organization and all involved.

How does an engineer (with a law degree) build a craftsy community in downtown Glens Falls? 🛠️✨ Today we are dropping Ann Donnelly's full interview with Kara Magoolaghan, Co-Owner of Hometown Shop in Glens Falls.

One very interesting take from this series of interviews -- Kara, like Ali Gazetus Mineo, Owner of Floro's Mercantile, decided to take the space before she knew what she was going to do with it!
