Plug in to the Annual Meeting backchannel on Twitter.
Are you on Twitter? The last three conferences I’ve attended have all been “powered by Twitter” so to speak. And they weren’t all techie conferences like SXSW. In fact, a fairly large group of ASAE Twitter-folk were following both the Marketing & Membership Conference (where we organized an impromptu “unsession”) and the Social Responsibility Summit.
For all you folks wondering if a tool like Twitter could help your attendees break through that glass wall at your association’s meetings, here’s your chance to try it first-hand. Whether you like to talk or prefer to listen, the conversation on Twitter will be worth following. Here’s how you plug in.
1) Sign up for Twitter.
2) Follow asaecenter08.
3) Go to asaecenter08's followers page.
4) Follow as many asaecenter08 followers as you like. I'm following everyone.
Thanks to Scot McRoberts, who e-mailed me for the steps. Great feedback, since sometimes I forget to explain important details.
For a list of the speakers I’ve found on Twitter check out my blogpost, First-timer’s guide to cracking the ASAE Annual Meeting.
Having @asaecenter08 to follow has made it really easy for us all to connect around the meeting…the rest is up to us.
