Tweeting During an Academic Conference...




Readers,


I attend a few conferences every year and I enjoy opening my iPad and tweeting throughout the span of the conference. As a result, I am always on the lookout for great ways to promote my tweets and my website.


I enjoy meeting different people through Twitter and participating in actual Tweet-ups at conferences. Here is a great article for educational bloggers who post during conferences. 


Mark Stelzner's article, "How to Live Tweet a Conference", focuses on the following aspects of posting tweets during conferences:


Pre-Event
- Get a Press Pass
- Verify WiFi/Cell Coverage
- Confirm the Hashtag
- Configure Your Applications
- Bring Your Charger


"Live At The..."
- Be Wallflower
- Set the Stage
- Use Attribution
- Follow Others
- Perpetuate the Conversation


The Post-Event Wrap Up
- Measure Your Success
- Blog Content
- Thank Your Hosts
- Thank Your Followers
