Kentucky Festivals & Events Association Spring Conference is March 25th in Lebanon, Ky.

Event directors will have a unique opportunity to learn skills to sustain their projects

LEBANON, Ky. (March 11, 2011) – Learn how to improve your event’s chance for success, or maybe even survival, in this economy during the Kentucky Festival & Events Association Spring Conference Friday, March 25, in the Convention Complex at Centre Square in historic downtown Lebanon, Ky.

With a tough economy, travelers are more selective about which events they attend and marketing strategies are changing every day. This conference will feature topics such as social media and other promotional opportunities and fund-raising.

There will also be a field trip to tour Kentucky Cooperage, a bourbon barrel-making factory, and a tour of the Fine Arts Building at Centre Square. Registration is $25 in advance and $35 on-site, which includes lunch from one of Lebanon’s wonderful restaurants, Ragetti’s Italian Food. The field trip begins at 9:30 a.m. sharp and the conference ends at 4:30 p.m. Door prizes will be given away at the conclusion. For more information or to get a registration form, contact the Lebanon Tourist & Convention Commission at 270.692.0021 or e-mail VisitLebanonKy@windstream.net.
