There are endless possibilities to spread the word about the hitchgathering. For example:
- Tell your friends
- Tell hitchhikers you meet on the road
- Write cardboards with hitchgathering.org, the place and date (and maybe more) and place them at popular hitchhiking spots ... be creative and use your colorful markers!
- Draw your own flyers :)
- Spread the word around hitchhiking clubs and websites in your country/your language
- Post on your hitchhiking / travel / nomad blog or website about the gathering
- Tell your favorite hitchhiking / travel / nomad blog author to write about it
- Organize a pre-meeting (can be early like May/June/July to raise attention and connect people)
- Invent a new slogan for this year! http://hitchwiki.org/en/index.php?title=Hitchgathering/2011/Slogan&action=edit

Discussion
Since the second most popular destination was Berlin in the 2011 vote, the participants of the Magdeburg pre-meeting all agreed to suggest Berlin already as a destination. Here are the reasons for this proposal:
- I think that after going for three years to challenging destinations, most people will agree it'd be nice to try a central, easy and popular place in Europe.
- A lot of energy is spent discussing the destination. Having the destination set more than one year in advance allows to concentrate on other issue, given the limited volunteer-hours we dispose of.
- In the previous installments, we only have a consensus on the destination a few month before the event, leading to many shortcomings in the organisation.

About the dates:
- Last week end of April is a 5-day-weekend for most of Europe (the 1st of May is holyday in most countries and it falls on a Tuesday).
- I think that is to early - in my opinion May is NOT the beginning of summer (as in: the free time I have during summer which I use to travel) and I guess most people still have to work in May/June before they start bumming around --N0id 15:24, 2 April 2011 (CEST)
How about 12/12/12 in Finland (in -12 celsius)? :) --Astikain 00:43, 27 July 2011 (CEST)
