Listing your event first alerts your entire network, then each subsequent RSVP spreads the word further. If you want to reach beyond your network, you can buy a direct ad at 60% off right now. As Julius said, many more new things will be coming.

From what I checked, there are no stories published in the Network Updates section of our contacts. If nobody checks intentionally the events widget, you won't get much response. The 10 people at once invites are a drag and they send badly formatted HTML emails (accentuated characters are all wrong). The events on Facebook a better because they are mostly used within an group and there is a possibility to invite everyone in the group even if they are not your friend.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('890','Nicolas Roberge'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('890','Nicolas Roberge','The point of posting events on a networking site like LinkedIn is to influence our contacts to join our events.
