I already had them add it to their Newsletter Calendar - just had to
email the editor. The next thing I would suggest is actually targeting
specific speciality groups within the AAG and seeing if you can get the
heads of those to send out an email press release.

Some groups:
Cyberinfrastructure (They have sponsored our FOSS sessions at the AAG in
the past)
Geographic Information Science and Systems
Cartography
