Hosting Engaging Events
No community loves events the way the City of Santa Clarita does. We do ribbon cuttings for new signs, groundbreakings for bridge expansions and celebrations like you would not believe. In 2017, we hosted 12 concerts, 15 festivals, one parade, three major press conferences, a marathon, an internationally televised bike race, a dozen employee events, holiday parties, dozens of groundbreakings and ribbon cuttings, one former council member's funeral and a vigil for the victims of the Las Vegas shooting, which drew more than 3,000 people and all major Los Angeles news stations. Santa Clarita Communications Manager, Carrie Lujan will take attendees through the event planning process, share how to pull off a flawless event, explain how events can be used to grow community engagement, provide tips for working with local and regional media and how to best handle council members and elected officials.
