On our Discord (https://discord.skynet.ie) we have two announcements channels, one for general Society events as well as another specifically for Skynet.
This is the best place we can promote events to our current members since almost all of our active membership are on it.
Occasionally for large scale events we promote on other Clubs/Societies Discords as well.

#### Quiz with Games Dev
At the tail end of last year we held a Collab event with Games Development.
Part of the goal of the event was to promote Games Dev as a Society, the other part was to have it as a mixer.
One hurdle we had to overcome was that it was a paid event, nominal cost yes, but out members are used to our events being free to attend.
Another hurdle was it was being held in the Pavilion, which is on the far side of campus so we had to get folks to travel over there on their own accord.
To promote this event we went all out, the usual Discord and Email announcements.
Through our friendship with other Clubs/Societies we also promoted on their discords.
Posters were done up and plastered across campus, the normal places yes, but also the more novel/wierd places.
We also "kidnapped" friends and classmates to go to the quiz.
The result was a success and a nice melding of the two societies as well as several newcomers who just thought a pub quiz would be good fun.
To top it all off the winners got comically large wooden spoons.
