1. Find out if there is a aa Apache Airflow Meetup at https://meetup.com and ask organisers to add your workshop as a Meetup event - you reach out to Airflow community that is already there. Current list of meetups can be found here https://airflow.apache.org/meetups/ but check at meetup.com as the new meetup might be created and not yet reflected at the main airflow page.
2. If there is no nearby meetup - create such meetup yourself (and let us know at dev@airflow.apache.org or Slack: https://apache-airflow-slack.herokuapp.com/. Announce it in your company, related meetups, social media etc. You do not have to create event first - you can first create a meetup and see if there are people interested in Airflow and only create the event after you get enough people signing up
3. Partner with a nearby conference or meetup and make an "accompanying event". If you tell the conference organizers that you will organize the event on your own, and that you announce that you are partnering with the event in your community, they will usually gladly accept your event as  "accompanying event" and use their channels/social media. This is usually a win-win cooperation where both sides are benefiting from each-other's engagement and cross-promotion of both events. This is how two first "First time contributor's workshop" happened: The first contributor's workshop was held as an accompanying event to ApacheCon EU 2019 in Berlin and the second was an accompanying event to PyData Warsaw 2019 . It's best if you also speak at that event (but it is not necessary) - you can easily make an accompanying "open-source" event without speaking at the conference. Additionally - often if you make relation with organisers, you can ask for free or heavily discounted ticket in case you agree to such "accompanying event".
4. Become part of some regular tech meetups organised by a sponsoring company - most of the companies who are in our space organises such events and they are really happy to host you (and even sponsor the event - see above)
5. Ping people at relevant #users- channels or #random at the slack: https://apache-airflow-slack.herokuapp.com/
