So it doesn't hurt to have photo's and referrals handy. Basically, You need to go to your local alliance there if you have one and they will have things from time to time that you can do , Also get in with your arena if you have one and get to know the people and let them get to know you as well, but i would bid with a contract , I have learned that the hard way in some cases. Hope this helps you.</p></blockquote><p></p>

What has worked for me so far is the Word of mouth and Business Cards. once you are out there then sometimes ( not every time) people will ask the event staff about you if they like your work, For Example, I was doing a event when i first got started and the guy that hired me came and told me in small talk that there was a person there at the event that asked who i was, even though i didn't get the job he was going to do , I got work later in the events in his area.
