The 2016 Net Impact Conference is quickly approaching and we want you to get the most out of your experience. Whether you are looking for new connections, leadership skills, or even a job - we have one tip that will help amplify your experience: Twitter.
There are a growing number of conferences where tweeting can help you stand out, but let’s focus on the conference we are most passionate about: the 2016 Net Impact Conference!
Here are 10 easy ways to incorporate tweeting into your conference experience (psst, make sure you’re registered for NI16.)
1. Identify the conference hashtags you can use for targeted conference-specific conversations
It’s never too early to start the conversation so begin following the conference hashtags now. We have: #NI16 #passionmeetaction #makehistory #leadthechange
2. Focus on one specific session
At NI16 there are so many great sessions, from workshops to panels, covering topics including sustainability, transforming business, and social entrepreneurship. The hardest part will be picking which sessions to go to, but once you have decided check out that session’s specific hashtags.
3. Find the speakers or companies you are most passionate about…
And you guessed it, follow them on Twitter! Find out who is speaking and their handles here.
4. Start tweeting before the conference
What sessions are you excited for? Tell the world! A sample tweet could be…“I’m so looking forward to the (Confessions of a Social Entrepreneur) session with (@DaraKosberg) at #NI16
5. Plan out how often you want to tweet
Planning ahead will help you not feel overwhelmed during the conference. If you are going to a panel for example, you could tweet one point each panelist makes, and have their Twitter handle and company handle on hand so you can include them in your tweet.
6. Always put the conference hashtag in your tweets
#NI16 #NI16 #NI16
7. Share your experiences through Twitter
You can generate conversations and inspire others through your participation.
8. Thank each speaker and company you interact with
Conferences are the best place to network with like-minded leaders in the fields you care most about.
9. Continue communication after the conference
You want to keep your connections engaged with you (especially if you are or will be job searching!)
10. Have fun!
