Since I do a variety of events I am always looking at places to get the word out so that each event will be successful. In doing research I found a variety of locations that one can post events FREE. These are great event websites that get you listed in google and extend your reach to the event, conference and more out to the communities.  Also the opportunity for more people to see your company name and/or individual name, great way to increase your brand.

Most of your local newspapers also have a calendar section so search on google the name of the newspapers in your area and then go to their sites and see if they have a calendar and usually on those pages they tell you how to post the events and most are FREE.

I have personally checked out each site listed below, and they do offer opportunities for you to list your evcnts FREE.  Remember the more places you have your event listed the more people will see it!
