Comments on: New survey: How people are using Twitter at conferences http://www.speakingaboutpresenting.com/twitter/survey-twitter-at-conferences/ Presentation tips from Olivia Mitchell Wed, 10 Mar 2010 07:30:19 +1200 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Tony Veroeven http://www.speakingaboutpresenting.com/twitter/survey-twitter-at-conferences/comment-page-1/#comment-2283 Tony Veroeven Tue, 21 Jul 2009 13:48:18 +0000 http://www.speakingaboutpresenting.com/?p=2871#comment-2283 I just attended #buzz2009 www.buzz2009.com and tweeting during the panel discussions and speakers presentations was a cool experience. I paid MORE attention than just sitting there. There has been discussion as to volunteer/hired tweeter and the validity of such summaries they would provide. Personally, I think the tweeting should be left to the stream of consciousness of the group (via Hashtag blah blah "#conference20".) Rather, a SESSION BLOGGER should summarize live or after the session to the conference blog. The moral of the story is that engagement before, during and after the conference gives legs to the learning and education, and extends the life of the conference. Call it a "living conference" or Conference 2.0. This results are a better experience for the attendee, speaker, exhibitors and conference organizers!
