\"livetweet1<\/a>This article has been written by Chris Heffer\u00a0<\/a>and\u00a0follows on my from another of her posts about\u00a0how an event organiser can use social media to enhance their event<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Chris thought that she would give the other side of the story and help people who attend conferences, to get the most out of them using twitter.<\/p>\n

Twitter is a great tool to use at an event. If used successfully it can help to increase your personal brand and indirectly, promote what you do.<\/p>\n

Be sure to follow the event hashtag while the people are speaking, if you can. You can retweet any \u00a0good tweets from other people also listening to the speaker.<\/p>\n

How to increase your\u00a0visibility\u00a0at the event<\/h2>\n

One of the things I usually do to increase my visibility at events is to tweet some of the key facts or ideas from the speakers.\u00a0 Tweet about the ideas, concepts and facts that people will want to retweet because it is interesting, insightful or useful. A lot of people can\u2019t be bothered to tweet but it\u2019s easy to retweet.<\/p>\n

Example tweet<\/h2>\n

The format I\u00a0generally\u00a0use for this kind of thing is below. I usually copy and paste the start and the end of the message, then add the insight in the middle. See the example below<\/p>\n

\n

.@speaker-twitter-name\u00a0says\u00a0(insert your message)\u00a0#event-hashtag<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Be sure to put the full stop at the start if you use the @mention. If you don\u2019t do this, it will limit the number of people who see the message. See this\u00a0Twitter\u2019s support page<\/a>\u00a0for more information about why.<\/p>\n

If you do this, you will get people\u00a0who are following the hashtag\u00a0retweeting you and often the speakers will retweet you as well when they finish their presentation.<\/p>\n

Do not forgot to tweet pictures<\/h2>\n

I often tweet pictures of the event and @mention people in the pictures if they are on stage. \u00a0Almost always get people retweeting it.<\/p>\n

Continue on after the event<\/h2>\n

After the event I usually write a crowd sourced blog post with all the key information from the event.<\/p>\n

Crowd sourced summary of #SBSS12 in 60 tweets!<\/a><\/p>\n

Crowd sourced summary of #SBS2012 in 63 tweets!<\/a><\/p>\n

Crowd sourced summary of #CSMB2B in 42 tweets!<\/a><\/p>\n

I then tweet the blog out and @mention people who I have quoted and most people retweet it. For one of these articles, I was retweeted to over 90,000 people\u00a0within 1 hour.\u00a0This resulted in a spike in traffic to my blog.<\/p>\n

Your turn<\/h2>\n

How have you used to twitter or any other social network to promote yourself at a conference? Do you think twitter can help enhance the experience or distract people from the content? What tips have I missed that could help you use twitter at an event?<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
