5. How Chick-fil-A Leadercast, the
Greater Valley Chamber & Talking
Finger are Using Twitter
The @CFALeadercast will be formatting the event differently this year.
They will be utilizing Twitter to receive, distribute and answer questions.
Attendees can send @CFALeadercast a question on Twitter. The panelists
will then pick and choose which questions to answer.
Throughout the Leadercast, @TalkingFinger will be the “mediator.” We will
be monitoring questions and responding to any further questions attendees
may have. We will be using various platforms to archive all of your Tweets
for future reference.

6. #CFALeadercastCT
You may have already seen @TalkingFinger &
@Valley_Chamber using the hashtag #CFALeadercastCT in
some of our Tweets. This will be imperative during the
conference. Any attendee who Tweets a question is urged to
use the hashtag to represent that the question is coming from our
great state of Connecticut! There are hundreds of host locations
worldwide on May 6th. By using #CFALeadercastCT we’ll be
categorizing our Tweets by those coming from our host location
in Shelton.

7. Foursquare
@TalkingFinger will be creating a badge for the CFA
Leadercast. Our goal with Foursquare will be to:
 Earn the Swarm Badge (50+ people checkin in three
hours). We are asking that people check in between
the hours of 11 a.m. and 2 p.m.
 Have people check in to earn the Leadercast Badge
@TalkingFinger is creating.

8. QR Codes
QR Codes are a quick and easy way for smart phone users to get
direct access to various forms of information. @TalkingFinger will
be posting QR codes throughout the Scinto Towers Auditorium for
people to scan and view. Test it out with the code above!

9. How to get the Apps
The best part about Twitter, Foursquare and QR Codes is that it’s all
free! Get on your smart phone and find your app marketplace.
Download the app for these programs.
A good QR Code reader is QuickMark. If you have a BlackBerry,
just use the scanner on your BBM app. Twitter and Foursquare
each have their own app.
