How to Organize a Can’t Stop the Serenity Event

The first step in organizing a Can’t Stop the Serenity event is to check if your city is already holding a Screening or Affiliate Event. Check out the list on the front page or on our Forum to see if your city/town is listed. If it is, contact the Event Organizer and offer to help. We’re sure they’d love all the help they can get. If your city is not listed, let us know you’re interested. Many of the CSTS organizers are doing this for their third or fourth year, and have a lot of experience and wisdom they are willing to share. We will attempt to buddy you with one of these, to help you out as much as possible, although we are all willing to help where we can.

If there’s no event planned for your area, then it’s all systems go for planning your own!
