How to Write and Distribute an Event Press Release
An event press release needs to make attendance details obvious: what the event is, who should care, where it takes place, when it happens and how to participate.
Essential event details
- Event name and purpose
- Date, time and time zone
- Venue or online access
- Speakers, performers or participants where confirmed
- Registration or ticket link
- Media contact and accreditation details, if relevant
Distribute early enough to be useful
An announcement published after editorial calendars are already full has less opportunity to generate coverage. For local events, pair broader distribution with targeted local media outreach.
