Our events from the newsroom are a way to bridge the gap between current and new audiences.

As a free daily, our goals are not centered on "audience development" per se, though we still see events as great potential for civic discussion (and revenue!).

Meeting our cohorts / coaches.

Hearing the term "Live Explainers" which launched a whole event-fever-dream for me

We are equal parts news / stories / fun

"Think Like the Customer" really jumped out at me, particularly since so much of the discussion revolved around building events around the newsroom, and, to be honest, the newsroom isn't always thinking in terms of its audience.

Not sure on the name but I would LOVE to do a yearly festival that includes our entire organization. Besides the gala, we really don't have a yearly engagement event.

Honestly my worst nightmare but I would have to say my husband.

Not quite sure, yet, but you can bet the title will have a pun in there somewhere.

If I had my druthers, I think a "talk show" format with a live audience could become a well attended, well received regular thing. If Ellen can do it daily, surely we can do it monthly!

too many options, so I'll go with Richard Branson. I'd want to know if he is serious about his mantra of taking care of his people so they can take care of his customers.

I'd like to throw a series of Block Parties in the different neighborhoods of Philly that include local community leaders, small busnesses, artists, entertainment, and community resources

The first half of the training was great to hear different examples. I think we're in a space to try out different types of events and it was very helpful.

Ericka Hart! They constantly challenge my ideas on so many topics and are a brilliant activist and speaker. I would leave that elevator enlightened. @ihartericka

The tips shared by Peter in preparation of meeting with a potential donor. They are so important! And the various ideas of new event types.

We are one of the last independently owned news orgs in Canada, and that we have an absolutely stellar crop of young journalists with progressive reporting styles working for us. (Winnipeg Free Press)

I second the live explainers! This is something we have thought about for a while, but have hit roadblocks in terms of resources/availability of reporters to do it! (winnipeg free press)

I can't come up with names right now, but here's a dream event:

- event showcasing local Latinx eateries to highlight the contributions of this community, and giving them the chance to show how restaurants have responded to (and innovated as a result of) pandemic challenges

# data[].attributes.body
Reminder to consider "WIIFM", or "What's in it for me"?

# data[].attributes.body
We went from idea to launch in six months during the pandemic - we're now the second largest newsroom in the state!

"TLC" - think like the customer! Reminder that "one size fits all" doesn't exist in this realm, so we are should be versatile!

In my role, my concern is to learn what events will attract and energize donors and entice them to become more involved and commit to us financially or upgrade their existing commitment. I hope that doesn't sound cold, but I am after funding. My dream is to figure out the dream event for my donors with capacity! Michelle Alexander, Mississippi Today

The Current Best. It's a sendup of the local "best of" awards thing. It's a little subversive — i.e. you're the best...currently — and offers an opportunity for folks to get awards/recognition that don't usually get them.

Big takeaway: Build processes so you can spin up "event" content that's responds to the moment. Hearing about ideas on how to riff on the "panel" format. I've heard from sponsors before that they're tired of panel luncheons.

I have been DYING to answer this question for a while. I would love to be in an elevator with whomever wrote the majority of Moira Rose's dialogue on Schitt's Creek - sheer brilliance and what a vocabulary!

I liked the concept of thinking about core audience and aspirational audience. And thinking about events as "journalism on stage" and getting the editorial staff to consider this as part of their job and not "extra." Also appreciate the acknowledgment that many corporations "don't want to fund highly combustible or partisan conversions" it's tough!

No event name in mind yet, but we would like to host an event that brings in different companies such as tech companies that can teach our youth about different jobs related to tech and media. Such as graphic design, web development, print making, engineering etc.

It’s more important to us to get the story right than it is to be first. You won’t see a new story on our homepage every day, but behind the scenes our reporters are busy digging into secretive conduct by public officials, exposing abuses of power and documenting broken and failing systems. Then we put every report through a fact-checking process.

The staff at Wisconsin Watch spent a lot of time a couple years ago brainstorming ideas for a new event series. We finally decided on Speakeasy: Casual conversations, serious issues. The idea was to host a series of events across the state where attendees could grab a drink and participate in a conversation around a topic we recently reported on. We were only able to hold two in person events before the pandemic and it's been really difficult to replicate the audience q+a and casual conversation aspect virtually. My dream event would be hosting another Speakeasy and being able to facilitate those community conversations across the state.

Starting to think about events in terms of a long term event strategy rather than just hopping from opportunity to opportunity.
