Upcoming (Upcoming.org) now owned by Yahoo is now a very popular site for event discovery and promotion. This new model of social event promotion with community niche and geographic networking is proving to be a great model for event management for all types of organizations that wish to promote their events.
With the addition of developer tools and a simple interface, the previously Upcoming.org event management and promotion online tool is very easy to use.
Events, Places, Groups, Friends, define key user functions and the main navigation elements of the site. As a great fit for Yahoo! due to the personalization and online community features, this site will make you want to dump your old web calendar tool and start using this social media vehicle for the public announcements of your club, group, or just local social event planning.
Even if you use an alternate tool to plan your events, consider creating an Upcoming account and add your even details to see if this will increase your social awareness - and perhaps new members too!
