It was an amazing workshop; it was very informative and loads of laughs. Both the audience and speakers had a great time. Many aspects of promotion were covered. Every thing from image to press kits, to the importance of being able to describe your event or product in 7 words. Also talked about was the importance of having a good core group of people, treating volunteers well and thank you notes.

When dealing with the press - it was send to get PR out at least a month in advance, have a good relationship with the press people - write them thank you notes for articles and and them Christmas cards.
