Getting folks to events are tricky. We have our Open House on Wednesday and I've been doing everything I can to get the word out: networking events, online event calendars, calling folks, eblasts, leaving flyers at partners' businesses.
I've found that a nice quick actually invite - PDF and print - followed up by either a personal email or phone call makes people stand up and take notice because then you are inviting that person specifically. If people haven't visited a site for an event, they're weary to check things out until you bring them into your personal circle of invites. So, in other words, I'm with Tony - personal, personal, personal - and hit people from different angles so that they hopefully catch wind of your event from different sources (for reminder and perception purposes). Let us know how it turns out!
