It’s Wednesday, September 11, and this week, we’ve got a deep dive into how newsletters throw powerful, engaging, and profitable events. But first…

Speaking of events: The AMO Summit is happening October 15 in New York City, and if you’re in B2B media, you shouldn’t miss it. Jacob at AMO has been kind enough to offer $200 off just for Inbox Collective readers — make sure you use code inboxcollective at checkout...

If you’re going to be at ONA next week in Atlanta and want to grab coffee, hit reply — I would love to say hi to as many folks as I can...

From the Dept. of Self Promotion: Thanks to the team at theMarketer for having me on their podcast to talk AI and newsletters, and to Simon Owens for having me on his podcast to talk about building a consulting business...

From Private Dinners to Epic Conferences: A Guide to Throwing an Event for Your Newsletter Readers

There are lots of different ways to produce an event connected to your newsletter. Whether you’re planning something as small as a Zoom meetup or as ambitious as a full conference, an event can be a powerful way to engage with your audience.

Events open up all sorts of possibilities:

They give you a chance to build a community around your newsletter.
They allow you to host conversations you can’t have anywhere else.
They might help you expand your newsletter’s reach.
They can open up new revenue opportunities for your newsletter.

Claire Zulkey — who knows a thing about events herself, having built a long-running humor reading series alongside author John Green — talked with operators who’ve run events and put together this guide for you.
