<span style="font-size:largersmall;">Ask, “Why is this event going to help our community?” and use the answer to this question as a mission statement. Every successful event develops upon a beneficial idea for the community and its inhabitants. After the foundation is laid, then the brand of the event must be established. With the Maler Faire involving many advanced forms of technology, it would be best to design graphics that deal especially with futuristic applications of projects that will be presented in the Faire. Anything that stands out to the human eye is particularly important in getting people to notice the event. This is where creativity is the most important aspect of spreading awareness.</span>

<span style="font-size:largersmall;">Once the graphics are created in forms of posters, flyers, and emails, it is time to spread. Take advantage of campus announcement boards and ask to hang up flyers for the event. Ask some of the media resources around campus to include the event in a newspaper or broadcast. Tell some friends about the event and have them share it with their friends and so on. Every University has a variety of ways to spread the news around campus. It is the job of the event hosts to understand that responsibility and use every resource available to spread awareness and peak interests.</span>

<span style="font-size:largersmall;">Part of this task is bringing general audience members to the Faire, but the other part is bringing those who supported the event to it as well. Sponsors who have funded or provided something beneficial for the creation of the Faire should be invited as honorary guests, and some of them may even present themselves as a guest speaker if asked. These honorary guests are most likely going to be experts in the field, which would create incredible networking opportunities for students in attendance (This could also be used as a marketing strategy). This is the chance for students and makers alike to gain knowledge from professionals who have experience, so don’t be shy to ask anybody.</span>
