How To Get The Most From Voice Over
Conferences: Part 3 - Share On Social Media!

By Natasha Marchewka

Social media can be overwhelming at any time. When conference time comes around, there is plenty to share, but less time to participate on social media.

Why do it? The benefit of sharing your experiences at a conference is threefold:
  • Attending a conference gives you something to post about! An event provides a wealth of opportunity to collect shareable content.
  • Your conference experience is branded content, meaning it's "you doing your thing." The photos can be used at any time, not just during the conference.
  • Participating on social platforms can work as a networking tool, connecting you to conference participants who are also using the conference hashtags.
Some people seem so adept at posting their experience before, during, and after…they make it look easy. In my experience, though, it's not. It's a juggle. It takes away from being present.

I've come up with some simple steps to make both my conference experience and my participation on social media as easy as possible.

Photos: Take As Many As Possible

Take photos with others, a few selfies, and some branding photos. An archive of photos of the people you've met and of the friends you spent time with will serve you well.

You can tag people on social media and keep the conversation
