I've been part of launching a couple coworks in small/rural cities and have found the best way to spread awareness is to;
1) educate a team of people/supporters by getting them all in a room together and making sure they are talking to community members using a VERY consistent message
2) go on as many local media outlets as possible - radio, paper, and TV news
3) host an open house and give tours every 15 mins or so...
Please contact me directly (ch...@thecoworkconsultant.com) if you have any other questions and if you'd like to add a link to my info in the article please use www.thecoworkconsultant.com
Thanks and be great!:)
Chris

Using a crowdsourced and distributed event format, the first ever European Freelancers Week will take place in multiple cities across Europe on October 17 – 23, 2016.
The objectives of EFW are to facilitate freelance community building in Coworking spaces, empower freelancers to join forces, and improve conditions of independent working through learning, sharing, networking and policy action. The initiative should bring more recognition to the value freelancers and coworking communities bring to the European economy.
European freelancers, digital nomads, and Coworking spaces are invited to engage in #EFW16. Events can be submitted till October 3, 2016 through the open web platform www.freelancersweek.org, where they will be published in the joint event map calendar.
Suggested event formats include meetups, workshops, consultations, solution and matchmaking sessions, pop-up art, conferences and hackathons.
#EFW16 is realized on a voluntary basis and coordinated by a coalition of 8 national freelancers’ associations in different European countries. By now it has been endorsed by more than 30 organizations, including European Coworking Conference, European Coworking Assembly, Seats2meet, Copass and Smart EU.
We accept both in-kind and financial donations and sponsorship.
I would like to invite you all, coworking spaces from Europe, to become our Ambassador and promote the initiative via its network and social media and it would make us happy if some of you would like to organize events dedicated to Freelancers.
Looking forward to your feedback :)
Cheers from Croatia,
