How are you promoting the aging conference at ucla?
Can anybody give a run down on how it is generally promoted? I have no idea really. Newletters from the orgs, Im sure the people working with it have extensive contact lists in the bio engineering and science community, um, Im not sure what else.
Im browsing people in the ucla area by zip code in myspace and telling them about it. I might be contacting 1000 pro aging trance people who don’t care but well, Im trying it. The zip code is 90024 if that’s useful to anybody.
Im also going to be looking up the emails of professors and stuff in the science departments there and emailing them. I mean, Im sure their department heads will be putting out their own news letters about it and giving their colleagues heads up about it or whatever but they wont get through to all of them right?
Im sure its all networked with media outlets for it and stuff but Im going to compile a list of emails for local news outlets, magazines and whatever else in that area and write them too. If I could interest even 5 people out of 5000 contacts I would consider it a success.
Am I naïve for doing this? Please add suggestions on things we can do to promote it.
