Q3: What is your advice for anyone attending a conference before the actual event? #TwitterSmarter pic.twitter.com/c5FjleLnIH
— Madalyn Sklar ?#MKTGnation (@MadalynSklar) April 26, 2018
A3: Come prepared to network. Make sure your phone is fully charged and bring your charger cord and even a battery pack or power bank. It will come in handy! I'm leaving in a few days for #MKTGnation and it's exactly what I'm doing. #TwitterSmarter https://t.co/gVCdpqOQ4L

— Gene Petrov // Leadership & Marketing Consulting (@GenePetrovLMC) 26 April 2018
A3: Make a list of five things you want to gain, five people you want to meet/connections to make, and five things you want to share #TwitterSmarter

Meet people in whatever way you’re most comfortable with. #TwitterSmarter pic.twitter.com/dsVj4ck7pW
— Lisa Boyles ??? I like big gifs & I cannot lie (@lisaboylesmedia) 26 April 2018
A3: See if the event has a hashtag you can follow and use. Tweet people who are also attending and start building relationships and familiarizing yourself with speakers. #TwitterSmarter
— Express Writers (@ExpWriters) April 26, 2018
A3: Be prepared! I always think it's a good idea to jot down a "shot list" of sorts so you can capture the conference and relay the info back to your audience. Having this information on hand helps take the guess work out of what you should post. #TwitterSmarter
— Maria Marchewka (@_MariaMarchewka) 26 April 2018
A3: Start following the event hashtag. Start following the speakers you're interested in, download the event guide in PDF to have it handy (sometimes you want to switch sessions!) #twittersmarter
— Katie Clark (@InsightsGal) April 26, 2018
A3.
If you're seeing everything the conference has to offer (which you should), you're not going to be getting a lot of sleep.
Take good care of yourself and power up!
Good sleep, water bottle, good shoes, and a phone charger.#TwitterSmarter pic.twitter.com/PBlcB20fzk— Tori Dunlap | Victori Media (@victori_media) 26 April 2018

A3
Start to connect with host, speakers, attendees and people talking about it. Track the hashtag so you can engage in real-time. Start conversations and make a plan.#TwitterSmarter https://t.co/WuR98mu4ZP
— Alberto Gómez (@alberMoire) April 26, 2018
A3: Get there a day early if you can. Make sure you have extra power supplies and do a recon of the area when you arrive so you start the conference off on the right foot. #TwitterSmarter https://t.co/b8lP8GyLbp
— Jim Fuhs of Fuhsion Marketing #DSATL (@FuhsionMktg) April 26, 2018
A3} make sure you use the correct #hashtags !! Look for other key words that might be associated with the event, key sponsors, keynote speakers, trainers & contacts your're trying to meet with.

— Glen Park Media (@glenparkmedia) April 26, 2018
A4. You can’t do it all. Make sure you prioritize what’s most important to you. Whether it’s meeting certain people or learning certain topics. It can be overwhelming if you don’t plan ahead. #TwitterSmarter
— Gene Petrov // Leadership & Marketing Consulting (@GenePetrovLMC) 26 April 2018
A4: Ask questions!
Sometimes it's hard to admit that you don't know a lot about a certain topic but there's much more benefit to learning than just skipping over something challenging.#TwitterSmarter
— Jeff Higgins Loves Peanut Butter Malts (@ItsJeffHiggins) April 26, 2018
A4.
Prioritize your time.
If it's a big conference, you're going to have multiple sessions/speakers on at once.
You can't see/do everything, so make sure you're really seeing the things that will benefit you/your organization.
(And schedule in breaks!)#TwitterSmarter pic.twitter.com/S9PSvQS0iY— Tori Dunlap | Victori Media (@victori_media) 26 April 2018
A4: When attending any event, take lots of WRITTEN notes. Science has proven you remember more when you write it down! #TwitterSmarter https://t.co/4qOKFyIujK
— Kathryn Lang (@Kathrynclang) April 26, 2018
A4:
• Follow the hashtag and the official handle of the host
• Live tweet, tagging the organiser for better exposure
• Respond to other tweeters
• The purpose of being at an event is to interact with people in real life. The phone shouldn't be a distraction.#TwitterSmarter— Narmadhaa (@s_narmadhaa) 26 April 2018

— Desiree Townsend (@DNTowns) April 26, 2018
A4: Make the most of an event by daring to step outside your ordinary and sitting with people that you don't already know – and engage with those people! #TwitterSmarter
— Kathryn Lang (@Kathrynclang) April 26, 2018
A4: For me it's about being less on my phone (posting and checking social media updates) and interacting IRL with attendees and speakers as much as I can. This is a precious opportunity you only have at the conference, make it count every single minute! #TwitterSmarter
— Sabrina Cadini (@SabrinaCadini) 26 April 2018
A4: Prioritize the speakers that you really want to see and block it off in your schedule. When everything begins, make sure you're prepared to take notes! #TwitterSmarter

— Jim Fuhs of Fuhsion Marketing #DSATL (@FuhsionMktg) April 26, 2018
A5. Find the human element… be kind, be loving, think "party" (not "network") and when you'll meet interesting ppl at the events just ask questions that will bring interesting answers (NOT "what do u do?"!).. my 10c.#TwitterSmarter

A6. When a speaker mentions a book, I like to tweet the link to it on Amazon as a benefit to the audience and my other followers. Or, sometimes I'll recommend other books that complement the speaker, too. #TwitterSmarter https://t.co/rsNafQRfe7
— Kirsten Jensen (@NextKirsten) April 26, 2018

❉ Write a 'Listicle' of main points from a talk & turn it into a Slideshare#TwitterSmarter— Virtuoso Assistant ? ? (@VirtuosoAssist) 26 April 2018
A6: I often put a few shout outs to my followers before I live-tweet an event as folks usually follow me specifically for #mrx or #socialmedia so the content would be (hopefully) relevant. Love the many "THANK YOU" messages re: distilling the info to tweetables #twittersmarter.
— Katie Clark (@InsightsGal) April 26, 2018
A6: It's smart to know what your audience would like to hear about beforehand. That all goes back to understanding their needs.
Then, you can share the key lessons you learned from each speaker so they can benefit as well. #TwitterSmarter
— Express Writers (@ExpWriters) April 26, 2018
A6
Give context!
Tweeting just a quote and picture might work for some people who "know", but try to build a bigger story around it, and tie it back to your business & YOUR community needs.#twittersmarter https://t.co/L2IefcnUkY— Zala Bricelj (@ZalkaB) April 26, 2018
A6. #twittersmarter

Follow your example and create a Twitter Moment ⚡️ of best tweets as a summary, and include them in a new blog post. #TwitterSmarter— Virtuoso Assistant ? ? (@VirtuosoAssist) 26 April 2018
A7 Assign Twitter savy folks to live tweet the most important sessions and events at the Conference #twittersmarter

A7. Pick sessions you feel your audience would WANT to follow. Every panel or session doesn’t have to be live tweeted. Plan, let audiences know when you will do this, and execute. Also, analyze the metrics after the session to see how the content coverage went. #TwitterSmarter https://t.co/U2fP7VecbT

– Live tweet
– Repurpose your tweets => write blog posts, create moments, make slides/videos, create visuals #TwitterSmarter

A7: When I'm doing post-event blog recaps, I often go back to the tweet stream to compile my "notes" for creating the blog content. #twittersmarter
— Katie Clark (@InsightsGal) April 26, 2018
A7. Moments, Flipboard, Twitter itself can cover an event "live". I have also used Instagram Stories for quick updates. #TwitterSmarter
— Janette Speyer (@JanetteSpeyer) 26 April 2018
A7: Love this answer, especially announcing plans in advance and using metrics. I'll have to look at some past events I livetweeted now to try this before #SSU2018 #TwitterSmarter https://t.co/qcz9XvuQU4

A8: Live chats. I loved being a part of the #TwitterSmarter chat during #SMMW. I wasn't there, but the community made me feel as if I was a part of the conversation.
— Narmadhaa (@s_narmadhaa) 26 April 2018
A8. If there are good live tweets from the event, just put yourself in the mindset of a Twitter chat and engage! I've had several instances where people thought I was at an event because I was happily engaging with the content, even though I couldn't be in person. #TwitterSmarter https://t.co/ZCh3WKuayF
— Kirsten Jensen (@NextKirsten) April 26, 2018
A8: Hashtags are perfect to follow the conversation on social media. Some conferences offer "virtual tickets" at discounted prices with live streaming and recordings #TwitterSmarter
— Sabrina Cadini (@SabrinaCadini) 26 April 2018
A8. It's back to the #hashtag, @MadalynSklar . Anyone can dive in with valuable & relevant content #TwitterSmarter https://t.co/ZlBtNBhu7m

A8: There will always be events you cannot go to, because of distance or simply because they happen at the same time on different continents.
If you know the hashtag of the event and listen/participate on a non-spammy way, folks will treat you like you are there. #twittersmarter— Val Vesa | Social Media & Travel Photography (@adspedia) April 26, 2018

– Speaking of FOMO, i just learned a new acronym from @JuliaEMcCoy on my FB live show yesterday.
– JOMO => Joy of Missing Out
