If the majority of your potential attendees are on the east coast, it may not make sense to host a conference in California. If they are spread out across the country, try alternating conference locations between the east coast and west coast.

Also consider the type of audience and the location type that will best appeal to them such as a resort, a downtown location or an airport hotel. Get the Word Out!

Consider offering free registrations to the trade press and send out press releases before and after to increase coverage. You can also trade advertising on your website with other industry related sites. Need help boosting your meeting or event attendance?
