Editor's Notes
- Running Paul’s itunes in the background as people come into the session – light, funky music – cue up a 10 song playlist and repeat. Paul to intro session & himself, allow Lindy to intro herself a bit.
- Paul – outline what we are going to do in our time together…
- LINDY: STAND UP EXERCISE: Have everyone stand. Then ask them to sit for the following reasons… Twitter daily? Weekly? Facebook daily? Weekly? LinkedIn daily? Weekly? Viewed a friend’s photos or a YouTube video within the last week? Read a customer review for a product online within the last week? [Did you end up buying something thanks to that review?] Read a blog entry? Emailed a link to a friend or colleague in the last week? Google search yesterday? Last week? WHAT ABOUT YOUR EVENTS? What are some ways that you’re using social media with your events? If participants have examples ask them to share at appropriate time. Get them engaged in sharing – good or bad! Play this timing by ear to keep things moving.
- LINDY: Main points – SM encompasses a lot of stuff – tons of tools, etc but not about the tools!!
- LINDY: The more people you know the more you can do, better off you are, etc… Need to know the right people.
- PAUL: Lindy, Let’s pause here for a second and answer a question or two if you guys have them…. ~ 2 mins of Q/A Now we want to take a look at four actual examples of social media use by various organizations. We’ll show you examples of Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook and a private event community using the Conference 2.0 platform. So… Let’s get started!!

- LINDY – Talk about goals that might come up over the course of three years, and talk about how to measure each goal. Be sure to mention that goals should be modest (at first) because of the learning curve, and that goals need to be measurable so you can communicate how you did.
- LINDY: Exercise: Write down one goal on one side, other side write how you will measure it. 2 mins – then discuss with person next to you. Share 2 or 3 goals… measurements. Then Q/A.
- PAUL: These two sites are great places to start for information on social media tools and using social media for events. Also, if you want a social media tip sheet from today’s session that includes Twitter, LinkedIn and Facebook how to’s, a listing of top social media meetings industry blogs and a short list of other social media resources – please drop off a card up here with a note that says “Tip Sheet” and we’ll send it out to you.
