I’m sure you’ve been seeing lots of tweets, blog posts and articles about the new features on Facebook (such as Groups) and the “New Twitter” (which kind of makes me think of “New Coke”, but let’s hope it doesn’t go down the same way). But how can all of these new features help event marketers engage attendees, build event communities and generate awareness and buzz?
Join us on Friday, October 15th at 1pm ET as I moderate an Engage 365 Water Cooler chat on Twitter about how new Facebook and Twitter features can be utilized by event marketers. It will be an open discussion where everyone can share their thoughts and ideas – or simply lurk and listen! You can follow and join the discussion on Tweetchat and with the hashtag #engage365.
As a primer, here are a few articles and posts that will help you get up to speed on Facebook Groups and Twitter’s new features:
