Use of Social Media Tools at an Academic Conference
Colleagues, I've been asked to come up with ideas on innovative and useful ways to incorporate social media tools into an upcoming academic conference in the social sciences. Have any of you come across some particularly useful integrations of social media/web tool at academic conferences. Thanks, Jose -- _______________________________________________________________________________________ josé marichal, ph.d. | associate professor | political science <http://about.me/marichal> department | california lutheran university 60 w. olsen road | #3800 | thousand oaks, ca 91360 805-493-3328
hi Not exactly what you want but: at the Berlin Institute for Internet and Society launch they had a number of things - everyone filled out an ID page on a website with research interests etc, they handed over to you cards with scannable codes on registration and when you wanted to speak during a session someone would come over with a smart phone, scan your card and your info would be projected onto a screen. They had other participatory things too, check out their website.

I haven't seen this at an Academic conference but I'm sure it could be of use. At marketing events I've seen companies use Twitterfall - a constantly updating stream of updates Tweeted by event participants centred around said event's hashtag. Requires a projector and a big wall. http://www.twitterfall.com/ Hope that helps! On Wed, Nov 27, 2013 at 7:04 PM, Mathieu ONeil <mathieu.oneil@anu.edu.au>wrote:

I'm not sure if this is the type of thing you're after, but have you had a look at Eventifier? http://eventifier.com/ It will pull in photos, tweets, slides, videos, etc. Cheers Katrina On 28 November 2013 11:08, Tyler Handley <tylerhandley@gmail.com> wrote:

http://visibletweets.com/ is worth looking at. It is similar to Twitterfall I believe - you can test it out immediately at the link above. It seems to refresh quite quickly.

Make sure Twitter handles are on badges under name and affiliation, and clearly demarcate each panel with it's own hashtag to go with the main event hashtag so that you can follow the entire day(s) or just the panel. Huge help. Also, it's possible to run Twitter streams in the main meeting spaces but for #TtW13 we thought it'd be too much on presenters to see that in their rooms.

For our Twitter and Microblogging conference in April this year, we made Twitter names and room-specific hashtags very prominent. We used Lanyrd before and during the conference to keep people updated about the programme etc. - this integrates quite well with Twitter. It's vital to keep both the conference and room/session-specific hashtags as short as possible. We did have twitter livestreams for our plenary speakers. It generated some interesting discussion, but should definitely be agreed with the speakers in advance! Johnny.

Thanks for the recommendations. I'm prepping for the Literacy Researchers Association conference next week. We've been trying to push the use of Twitter, Google+, and a robust, online presence. The challenge is primarily getting everyone up to speed on the use of a tool (e.g. Twitter) and how/why to use it. I think it's also important to help them scale up by using Tweetdeck, or Hootsuite to follow conversations. I wish one of these app developers that builds apps for AERA, LRA, etc. would fold in a Twitter/social media stream. I've used VisibleTweets before at conferences. It tends to work well as a backdrop before/after keynotes, and sessions. We also had it up in informal meeting spaces and lunch to allow people to reflect on the backchannel. Recently we've been moving to Today'sMeet <https://todaysmeet.com/> as a quick and dirty way to have people share and follow from their phones. -Ian _________________________ W.
