Sounds like a great opportunity to meet with these teams to gain a broader understanding of how Twitter works in general (i.e., how they do their job) and for accessing/using data for research purposes. Any chance to talk to industry teams enhances the dialogue. I'm in!

We are happy to announce that members of the Twitter Data Products and Trust & Safety teams will participate at AoIR 2016 and hold multiple office hours for AoIR members.
Many members of the AoIR community work with Twitter data in a variety of scenarios, from fandom to political communication. The Twitter Data Office Hours will be an opportunity for scholars to directly discuss research possibilities with Twitter, in order to identify opportunities to more effectively use Twitter data for research purposes. Twitter is also eager to get feedback from researchers working in this space about how to improve academic access to Twitter data.
The Twitter Data Office Hours will be held on site during the course of the conference. Starting today, you can contact twitterchat@aoir.org to book a half-hour slot. We suggest that you either prepare a brief proposal (~1 page) that outlines your project, or a set of questions that you would like to discuss.
Please keep in mind that the aim of the office hours is to facilitate concrete research projects by making it easier for scholars already working in this space to get access to Twitter data and share their feedback about Twitter’s APIs and Data Products. Please understand that the Twitter Data Office Hours are not intended as a technical introduction to digital research methods.
Hope to meet you all in Berlin,
Michelle _______________________________________________ The Air-L@listserv.aoir.org mailing list is provided by the Association of Internet Researchers http://aoir.org Subscribe, change options or unsubscribe at: http://listserv.aoir.org/listinfo.cgi/air-l-aoir.org
