Engage Carolina – Asheville

Anyone can start a political blog, but not everyone can maintain a good one.

On Saturday, January 17, 2015, Progress North Carolina and DKos Asheville are joining forces to host an afternoon meetup and seminar to help established bloggers sharpen their skills, build their networks, and show prospective bloggers what they need to get started.

Guest speakers will talk about what makes a political blog successful, and share some best practices for building your audience.

Topics will include:

• Here We Go Again – a preview of the 2015 legislative session
• Building and maintaining a blog that will best reach your audience
• Finding and Following a Good Story – don’t just comment on the news cycle… capture it!
• Reaching your audience and driving home your message

Check-in, welcomes, and an informal lunch begin at noon, with the program beginning at 1 p.m. and running until about 5 p.m. Attendees are invited to stick around afterwards for drinks and networking.

If you’re interested in attending, please RSVP or purchase a ticket on Eventbrite. Attendees who RSVP ahead of time but wait to purchase their ticket at the door will only pay $10. Tickets purchased on the day of the event without an RSVP will be $15.

Engage Carolina takes place Saturday, January 17 from 12 noon to 5 p.m. at the Crowne Plaza Hotel, 1 Resort Drive, Asheville. For tickets and more information visit www.eventbrite.com/e/engage-carolina-asheville-tickets-14961367854
