Abir - Thanks for the offer, but I am desperately trying to reduce my volunteer commitments given a new major project and a growing need to spend a great deal of time helping my aging parents (not to mention huge delays or postponements of several other priority projects). I prefer NOT to have an official role in your conference, but would be happy to provide a limited amount of advice over the course of your publicity campaign, but only when I can afford to do so.
However, I have taken 5.4 hours this morning to update and broaden a document describing how I handle mass emails, plus I created a "severely reduced data" mass email spreadsheet that I use to manage the combined [WCCI, IJCNN, INNS_BigDat&DeepLearn] mass email list.
I have also included a more general description of Publicity efforts for a past conference, but that is weak in the area of Social Media. Simone Scardapane has been very innovative in doing interviews of plenary speakers, and TENG Teck Hou has done a great job of postings to user groups etc, both of them for several conferences and ongoing.
A key point is where you get the mass email lists, and the policies governing their use. The IEEE-CIS and INNS are very careful (at least with me) on how to control the people using the lists, and limiting their use to single conferences. An appendix in the mass email document gives a recent email describing the mass email policies for IJCNN. This may be quite different for your [organisation, conference]. Just remember that easy [recipient response, removal] of emails from lists on request is a legal requirement in most countries.
The files below can be downloaded from my "Neural network conference publicity" directory :
- 0_Howell - neural network conference publicity, example planning docs.doc
- 0_IJCNN 2015 Killarney - Publicity Actions checklist.xls
- INNS Mass email instructions for all senders.odt
- INNS mass email list example 29Jun2017.ods
I realize that my "package" is quite a mess, but hopefully it will be of help. It also gets into practical details that mere conversations cannot.

Dear Bill,
It was really nice to talk to you at the
IJCNN in Alaska this year. As I mentioned to you, I would be
very much grateful if you could support our team and accept my
invitation to become the publicity co-chair for the
Development of E-Systems Engineering conference in Edinburgh.
I understand that you mentioned you are very busy and you
could not have time, but we need you to inherit your extensive
experience as publicity chair to IJCNN to our researchers who
will work extensively with you to do the required works.
Please let us know what you think.
Regards,
Abir
