Notes to self on Tweeting Conferences etc

Written by Andrew Rens on December 15th, 2009

Tweeting from a conference, workshop or other process, e.g. the WIPO Copyright Committee can be a useful way of informing a wider network what is happening in the event. But it can be more, it can involve a conversation between those who are physically present and those who are not. I have some ideas how to make these conversations more engaging for those not physically present.

(1) Use a hashtag so that others can search the tag and see tweets about the process other than oneself.

(2)Remind followers to search the hash tag to get a fuller picture.

(3) Tweet links to background documents, relevant websites and other resources that will enable people to make

(4) Invite questions about the process people following the proceedings. If you can pose questions to speakers all the better but even if not, an offer to clarify can change the conversation.
