Tips on Promoting Your Session on Social Media

  • Start your promotion as soon as possible. This will help build interest early, leading to greater exposure for you by the time of the event.

  • Tag us in your social media posts in your social media posts so you spread the word about the conference, and we can inform attendees about your presentation

  • Cross-promote with other presenters. Are you presenting with others? Are you part of a panel? Any colleagues speaking in other sessions? Connect with them and help promote each other.

  • Provide your Twitter handle so attendees can connect after the session, and check Twitter after your session for additional questions/discussions.

  • Tweet an hour before your session starts to create excitement.

  • Go multimedia. Use slides, pictures, and video, especially during the event. The more interesting you can make your posts – both content-wise and visually, the more effective it will be for you.

  • Have a conversation and make connections. Use a natural voice in your posts. And make sure you reply to others' posts when you can. You can build rapport and connections with your social media followers before and after your presentation
