Facebook Event Pages
Make sure you like our page!
Our attendees are trained to use the attendee pages as a way to interact with each other (by arranging housing, rides, meeting new friends and sharing photos), ask customer support questions (“Where is my class? Can kids come?”). We encourage our partners to post anything they think would be useful and relevant to the attendees. Please be mindful of how often you post as an over abundance of branding-style posts can turn the end user off and cause them to remove themselves from the event page. You can find the events here.
