Thanks for reminding us how important that hashtag is...especially since Twitter, Flickr and Instagram all use them too. Thanks for reading as well. @Chris

I think the one thing that still surprises me to this day is that conferences need to be reminded to assign an official hashtag for their event....and promote it! We promote our clients presence at conferences all the time, and it still makes me shake my head when we have to get the hashtag created for the conference itself. In this social media heavy climate, conferences really need to wake up to the power of social. Great article!

You can't control it and actually, that's a good thing. I've found that most audiences police the tweets and if solicitations come through, the crowd takes care of it. I've been using twitter for meetings since 2007 and never had that happen. Some exhibitors may put tweets into the stream but if they overdo it, they get a backlash from the audience. Plus, I really doubt that a business would target a conference sending hundreds of tweets. It's a waste of their time. @Debbie:

What if every restaurant, bar and sightseeing company in the city wants to tweet out specials to delegates? A few tweets might be welcome, hundreds of tweets soliciting businesses would be a challenge. How to you control who can contribute tweets to a meeting?

Participants can directly view topics presented/ discussed on a screen. People are more likely to be involved in the matter and ask questions. These mindmaps are of great value when the event is over. These mindmaps embody the real insights, examples and Q&A´s from the presentation. LiveMindMappers from Connection of Minds have facilitated for examples TEDxAmsterdam, TEDxRotterdam and numerous other events. MindMaps have also been created next to a twitter editor. This combination works out very well. As added value to an great event, I would suggest livemindmapping of keynotes or presentations.

I like your statment that Twitter has become the first port of call when it comes to promoting a new event. Nice analogy! @Sam

It's quickly become the first port of call when it comes to promoting a new event. It’s incredible how much twitter has changed things in no time at all, really.
