5:08 pm WY20: i'm cool with #3! #eventprofs
5:09 pm ericlukazewski: Well let's start with #3: Which is more important a speaker's content or their presentation? #eventprofs
5:09 pm lizkingevents: @ericlukazewski Not yet, but it's definitely coming - only an inch or two so far :) #eventprofs
5:09 pm sylviaweise: Please ignore for the next hour participating in #eventprofs chat. #eventprofs
5:10 pm MichaelMcCurry: Well IMO even the best content if poorly presented is of little value #eventprofs
5:10 pm ericlukazewski: @camelendes @sylviaweise Welcome Christine & Sylvia! #eventprofs
5:10 pm LindsayFultz: RT @ecstewart #Howto Preserve Your Brand During the Recession http://ow.ly/1bfqQ #eventprofs
5:10 pm justinlocke: well hmmm doesn't content sell the event, or is more the speaker's "name" that attracts? #eventprofs
5:10 pm conventionplani: absolutely agree @MichaelMcCurry: Well IMO even the best content if poorly presented is of little value #eventprofs
5:10 pm chrisuschan: the presentation -- hands down - I agree with @MichaelMcCurry #eventprofs
5:10 pm ericlukazewski: @ericlukazewski Agree, it's hard to argue that any speaker, regardless of talent, can survive without good content #eventprofs
5:11 pm lizkingevents: I'm in a chat for the next hour to learn more valuable things to share with all you followers! Please feel free to filter 4 now! #eventprofs
5:11 pm chrisuschan: a presentation actually starts with how it's described on the program #eventprofs
5:11 pm MichaelMcCurry: @ericlukazewski speakers without good presentation won't survive either #eventprofs
5:12 pm ericlukazewski: Although, good content, without a good stream, can often times just get lost #eventprofs
5:12 pm chrisuschan: sessions sound good, but speakers need coaching on delivery and their slides... too many presentation are reading slides #eventprofs
5:12 pm ericlukazewski: @MichaelMcCurry Took the words right out of my mouth :) #eventprofs
5:12 pm ericlukazewski: What defines a 'good presentation'? #eventprofs
5:12 pm kcary88: I think the speakers name can draw in the crowds but the content is what will keep them there/coming back for more #eventprofs #eventprofs
5:12 pm sylviaweise: @MichaelMcCurry agree and if we hear that 'experience' is key then delivery is very important to the 'experience' #eventprofs
5:13 pm LindsayFultz: RT @MichaelMcCurry Well IMO even the best content if poorly presented is of little value #eventprofs
5:13 pm ericlukazewski: @chrisuschan Agree with you Chris. Content can't survive without a good presentation. There needs to be balance #eventprofs
5:13 pm MichaelMcCurry: RT @chrisuschan: sessions sound good, but speakers need coaching on delivery and their slides... 2 many are reading slides -yes! #eventprofs
5:13 pm lizkingevents: @ericlukazewski A good presentation is the perfect balance of good content, interactivity, examples & practical takeaways #eventprofs
5:13 pm chrisuschan: good presentations capture the audience, teach the audience and are talked about after the session - memorable! #eventprofs
5:13 pm conventionplani: Content is of course important but the presentation factor is why audiences attend instead of just reading the info #eventprofs
5:13 pm Rooksby: RT @JulieBaylor: Great Job! 97% of waste diverted at the GMIC annual conference,http://bit.ly/bCcPAZ #Oregon #eventprofs #Denver #meeting
5:14 pm lizkingevents: RT @chrisuschan good presentations capture the audience, teach the audience and are talked about after the session - memorable! #eventprofs
5:14 pm chrisuschan: Ever read the book or seen Chip Heath (made to stick)? It's something that has impact, different from the rest. #eventprofs
5:14 pm sjbowerman: I read the book Presentation Zen & found the concepts very interesting. The best speakers don't use traditional powerpoint. #eventprofs
5:14 pm justinlocke: i htink a presentation should be seen as a show, not as a class. #eventprofs
5:14 pm MichaelMcCurry: @chrisuschan creating buzz before the presentation is important also #eventprofs
5:14 pm LindsayFultz: Also personality of speaker is important. #eventprofs
5:15 pm chrisuschan: Great read --- http://www.madetostick.com/ apply's to everything we present in life! #eventprofs
5:15 pm MichaelMcCurry: RT @justinlocke: i htink a presentation should be seen as a show, not as a class. ->is a performance of sorts ! #eventprofs
5:15 pm justinlocke: of course it's rare anywhere to combine entertainment and content . #eventprofs
5:15 pm ericlukazewski: What can speakers learn from their audience, to develop better skills to create those 'good presentations'? #eventprofs
5:17 pm chrisuschan: If you're going to speak, you need to watch other sessions, watch the audience and learn what rocks and what doesn't #eventprofs
5:17 pm chrisuschan: Speakers need to learn from others and steal great ideas from great speakers #eventprofs
5:17 pm MichaelMcCurry: @ericlukazewski Well speakers should do the research to understand how their audience likes to interact and receive information. #eventprofs
5:17 pm kcary88: @ericlukazewski They can learn from their reactions People falling asleep and not paying attention is a dead give away Need fix #eventprofs
5:18 pm LindsayFultz: People learn differently. Maybe send out a short survey prior to presentation to see how each attendee learns...? #eventprofs
5:18 pm chrisuschan: What are meeting planners doing to help coach their speakers? #eventprofs
5:19 pm sylviaweise: There are those that should just not be speaking - just because you know your stuff does not a presenter make #eventprofs
5:19 pm justinlocke: yes, pro perfromance is always about "perceiving" the audience. #eventprofs
5:19 pm ericlukazewski: Great question RT @chrisuschan: What are meeting planners doing to help coach their speakers? #eventprofs
5:19 pm chrisuschan: @sylviaweise Amen to that... A terrible speaker can kill great content! #eventprofs

5:20 pm justinlocke: RT @chrisuschan: What are meeting planners doing to help coach their speakers? #eventprofs -- geez do planners have time to do that?
5:20 pm conventionplani: attendees should always complete thoughtful feedback forms for a speaker to improve #eventprofs
5:21 pm KarinaCoreApps: A good speaker will be able to take the temperature of the audience and adjust accordingly. #eventprofs
5:21 pm kcary88: @LindsayFultz That could be difficult. Researching the audience demographics and how they prefer receiving info might be easier #eventprofs
5:21 pm ericlukazewski: Audiences are evolving along with events. How has technology and social media affected the way audiences interact? #eventprofs
5:21 pm sylviaweise: Offer honest kind feedback - have dry runs and know when to backout - play to strengths not expectations #eventprofs
5:21 pm MichaelMcCurry: Event Pros need to start understanding adult learning realities and make sure they hire speakers that will deliver to them. #eventprofs
5:21 pm justinlocke: one pro pseaker k harrell has a whole questinair for plnners on what the audience is about and i ahave stolen it #eventprofs
5:21 pm chrisuschan: @MichaelMcCurry there's more than just setting a good good session line up... that's step one. step two is coaching! #eventprofs
5:21 pm ericlukazewski: RT @KarinaCoreApps: A good speaker will be able to take the temperature of the audience and adjust accordingly. #eventprofs
5:22 pm kcary88: @ericlukazewski Social media can put you in immediate contact with your audience and be able to receive immediate feedback. #eventprofs
5:23 pm justinlocke: RT @KarinaCoreApps: A good speaker will be able to take the temp of audience and adjust. #eventprofs yes, it's part of a performer's job
5:23 pm MichaelMcCurry: @chrisuschan yes but before you coach you need to understand how to facilitate learning #eventprofs
5:24 pm ericlukazewski: @kcary88 Have you witness any specific examples where SM was used successfully between speaker & audience? #eventprofs
5:24 pm chrisuschan: @MichaelMcCurry so maybe event leaders should hire a ______ to help their speakers optimize learning??? #eventprofs
5:24 pm mikegranek: ATTN: #eventprofs #ises # MPI peeps! Help me & my students fundraise for Cancer Soc. Relay!http://blba.us/i.asp?id=330271-284948482-2
5:25 pm KarinaCoreApps: Positive feedback will ensure call-backs for future speaking engagements. #eventprofs
5:25 pm MichaelMcCurry: MPI had a keynoter this week at #md10 that stood @podium and read his slides to audience.... not engaging at all. It was awful! #eventprofs
5:25 pm justinlocke: T @MichaelMcCurry: @chrisuschan yes but before u coach u nd to understand how2 facilitate learning #eventprofs not sure i understand that
5:26 pm justinlocke: i don;t disagree just need more info #eventprofs
5:26 pm chrisuschan: @ #engage365 we ask our speakers to ask the community questions, we ask pre-reg profile Qs... to learn their audience beforehand #eventprofs
5:26 pm MichaelMcCurry: @justinlocke has to do with Brain learning, understanding science of how brain process info and creating settings 2 promote it #eventprofs
5:26 pm LindsayFultz: That is more streamlined. @kcary88 Researching the audience demographics & how they prefer receiving info might be easier #eventprofs
5:26 pm kcary88: @ericlukazewski Attended a meeting with Mark Ragan, PR Pro/Coach, he held a tweetchat after to discuss his program/get feedback #eventprofs
5:27 pm crowdvine: Are meeting planners starting to expect that speakers will have example talk on YouTube or similar service? #eventprofs
5:28 pm justinlocke: i always feel presenting is a 2 channel experience, both presneting and listening/observing like mad. takes time to devlop. #eventprofs
5:28 pm chrisuschan: Do you think that mtg profs are just to busy to review speaker content and coach speakers or they just dont know how to? #eventprofs
5:28 pm kcary88: Anyone see the Tiger Woods press conference last Friday? Good lesson in what not to do in public speaking. #eventprofs
5:28 pm ericlukazewski: Has anyone else witnessed specific examples that cite a speaker's positive engagement with their audience, w/ SM or etc.? #eventprofs
5:28 pm sylviaweise: RT @kcary88: Anyone see the Tiger Woods press conference last Friday? Good lesson in what not to do in public speaking. #eventprofs
5:29 pm chrisuschan: Presenting isn't reading slides... it's telling a story with impact visuals that helps your audience learn. #eventprofs
5:29 pm justinlocke: RT @crowdvine: Are meeting plannersexpect speakers will have sample on uTube yes, a sample video is i think the basic standard #eventprofs
5:30 pm ericlukazewski: @chrisuschan I believe it is more the later. Mtg profs should spend more time engaging with their speakers beforehand. #eventprofs
5:30 pm sylviaweise: @chrisuschan Yes we are too busy but it's part of the event and it brings people back so we better be paying attntion #eventprofs
5:30 pm chrisuschan: @kcary88 Tiger looked like a robot... not genuine... from the heart. #eventprofs
5:30 pm LindsayFultz: @ericlukazewski Unfortunately no, only negative. #eventprofs
5:31 pm rayhansen: RT @Eventmagazine: Confex de-brief from Duncan Reid. How was it for you?: http://bit.ly/9nqEmn#confex #eventprofs
5:31 pm sjbowerman: @chrisuschan couldn't agree more! #eventprofs
5:31 pm kcary88: @chrisuschan I think the better question is whose job is it to coach the speaker? #eventprofs
5:31 pm MichaelMcCurry: RT @ericlukazewski: I believe it is more the later. Mtg profs should spend more time engaging w. their speakers beforehand. -yes #eventprofs
5:31 pm LindsayFultz: Last seminar I went to presenter said all cell phones are 2b turned off and that means no tweeting! #eventprofs
5:31 pm justinlocke: RT @chrisuschan: Presenting isn't reading slides... it's telling a story with impact(eyc). #eventprofsyes. storytelling is KEY
5:31 pm Mizcity: hey all, sorry I'm joining late! christina, freelance planner from NYC here - whats the topic? #eventprofs
5:31 pm chrisuschan: @sylviaweise it's sooooo important that your attendees leave sessions feeling like they just say a great movie! #eventprofs
5:31 pm sylviaweise: @ericlukazewski Setting expectations is key and honest speak works - sometimes people are not a good fit #eventprofs
5:32 pm lizkingevents: @justinlocke Welcome! #eventprofs
5:32 pm ericlukazewski: Let's segue this into our next topic: What does it take to put together a hybrid event? #eventprofs
5:32 pm KarinaCoreApps: We all have to audition or services in one way or another -- sing for our supper. Speakers, too. #eventprofs
5:32 pm MichaelMcCurry: RT @LindsayFultz: Last seminar I went to presenter said cell phones are 2b turned off and means no tweeting! ->not realistic #eventprofs
5:32 pm ericlukazewski: @Mizcity Welcome Christina! Glad you could join us! #eventprofs
5:32 pm sylviaweise: RT @sylviaweise: @ericlukazewski Setting expectations is key and honest speak works - sometimes people are not a good fit #eventprofs
5:32 pm chrisuschan: @sylviaweise if you want repeat attendance and WOM marketing, you need to leave your attendees feeling WOW'd #eventprofs
5:32 pm Mizcity: @LindsayFultz i had friends who attended a huge conf like that - no tweeting- and they were annoyed at first but loved it at end #eventprofs
5:33 pm sylviaweise: RT @chrisuschan: @sylviaweise if you want repeat attendance and WOM marketing, you need to leave your attendees feeling WOWd #eventprofs
5:33 pm MichaelMcCurry: @Mizcity I personally would not comply with that request .. to not tweet at event #eventprofs
5:33 pm ericlukazewski: @LindsayFultz To me, that is a sign of unwillingness to embrace the evolution of events. Attendees can enrich a session w/mobile #eventprofs
5:33 pm rayhansen: Mashable?s Weekly Social Media Conference Guide http://tinyurl.com/yj9zkvj #eventprofs #md10#confex
5:33 pm chrisuschan: @Mizcity you mean they could just focus on the presenter, the topic and not the next tweet??? WOW now that's a novel concept. #eventprofs
5:34 pm justinlocke: not my expertise but no tweeting? not realistic expectation. like kids passing notes. #eventprofs
5:34 pm crowdvine: If a speaker says no tweeting or cell phones -- then they better deliver a great session. #eventprofs
5:34 pm MichaelMcCurry: RT @ericlukazewski: 2 me, that is a sign of unwillingness 2 embrace evolution of events. Attendees can enrich a session w/mobile #eventprofs
5:35 pm ericlukazewski: This is interesting to see a slight divide: Is there a balance between too much tweeting and no tweeting by audiences? #eventprofs
5:35 pm kcary88: RT @chrisuschan:u mean they could just focus on the presenter, the topic and not the next tweet?? WOW now thats a novel concept. #eventprofs
5:35 pm Mizcity: @MichaelMcCurry i think they asked ppl to leave if they got caught. Even heavy SM users said it was really beneficial actually #eventprofs
5:35 pm MichaelMcCurry: @ericlukazewski You can not control tweeting .. that is against the very spirit of it... IMO #eventprofs
5:36 pm justinlocke: i will say this: if you're doing a good presentation, I think folks will tweet a whole lot less, so as not to miss out. #eventprofs
5:36 pm Mizcity: @chrisuschan I know right?! Craziness!! #eventprofs
5:36 pm chrisuschan: @ericlukazewski maybe attendees tweet a lot because speakers are terrible? or really good? something else to do... ??? #eventprofs
5:37 pm MichaelMcCurry: RT @Mizcity: I think they asked ppl to leave if caught. Even heavy SM users said was really beneficial actually - interesting #eventprofs
5:37 pm conventionplani: compromise - take notes during presentation & tweet findings afterwards #eventprofs
5:37 pm ericlukazewski: @Mizcity What sort of benefits did they witness by having SM restrictions? #eventprofs
5:37 pm kcary88: RT @crowdvine: True but if they have a great event, people will pay attention anyway and the no cell rule doesn't need 2 B said #eventprofs
5:37 pm KarinaCoreApps: Stopping a meeting to usher out a tweeter... now that would be more disruptive than tweeting. #eventprofs
5:37 pm Mizcity: @justinlocke sometimes thats reason for me to tweet more- i want to share the goodness with everyone. Happened to me at #nysmrt #eventprofs
5:37 pm justinlocke: RT @ericlukazewski: @Mizcity What sort of benefits did they witness by having SM restrictions? #eventprofs
5:38 pm MichaelMcCurry: RT @chrisuschan: maybe attendees tweet because speakers are terrible? or really good? something else 2 do -> 4 me Note-taking #eventprofs
5:38 pm justinlocke: RT @kcary88: RT @crowdvine: True but if they have a great event, people will pay attention / no cell rule doesn't need 2 B said #eventprofs
5:39 pm ericlukazewski: IMHO, mtg profs need to organize the Twitter backchannels beforehand or it will be just noise. #eventprofs
5:39 pm Mizcity: @ericlukazewski I think that they were forced to focus.To me, seems like there's pressure to tweet, mayb gave them an "out" #eventprofs
5:39 pm ericlukazewski: RT @KarinaCoreApps: Stopping a meeting to usher out a tweeter... now that would be more disruptive than tweeting. #eventprofs
5:39 pm inspirationguy: Hello #eventprofs just joining the debate.
5:39 pm justinlocke: RT @Mizcity: @justinlocke sometimes thats reason for me to tweet more- i want to share the goodness. #eventprofs well i like that concept.
5:40 pm PYMConnect: Research to Focus on the Performance Drivers and Value of Meetings http://ow.ly/1bbyG #meetings#eventprofs #cmp #mpi
5:40 pm justinlocke: @Mizcity no such thing as bad publicity! #eventprofs
5:40 pm LindsayFultz: Just by no cell phone rule being said 1st thing turned me off. Just wasn't a good 1st impression IMO #eventprofs
5:40 pm ericlukazewski: @inspirationguy Welcome Ash! Thanks for jumping in! #eventprofs
5:40 pm MichaelMcCurry: @ericlukazewski to a degree the back channel is self policing... a twitter monitor is always a good idea #eventprofs
5:41 pm MichaelMcCurry: @inspirationguy Hello, welcome! #eventprofs
5:41 pm KarinaCoreApps: Makes you wonder if there was anyone left in the room to see the presentation? heehee #eventprofsOff with their heads!
5:41 pm chrisuschan: @ericlukazewski there should be someone in the session monitoring the backchannel who is connected with the speaker #eventprofs
5:42 pm AKthe5th: @lizkingevents @Mizcity Check this for info on #NxNYC http://bit.ly/avlwef If anyone else wants to meet me in NYC, i'll be here! #eventprofs
5:42 pm MichaelMcCurry: RT @LindsayFultz: Just by no cell phone rule being said 1st thing turned me off. Just wasnt a good 1st impression IMO ->I agree #eventprofs
5:42 pm Mizcity: RT @AKthe5th: @lizkingevents @Mizcity Check this for info on #NxNYC http://bit.ly/avlwef If anyone else wants to meet me in NYC, i'll be here! #eventprofs
5:42 pm ericlukazewski: @MichaelMcCurry Yes, agree. I think those channels need to be developed to ensure the virtual audience is established b4 event #eventprofs
5:42 pm eventsforgood: Wish that I could participate in the #eventprofs chat today, but I'm listening to the #destshow keynote.
5:42 pm justinlocke: if there's to be no twittering it should be a voluntary thing for that presentation maybe? #eventprofs
5:43 pm ericlukazewski: @chrisuschan Absolutely. If you're simply allowing tweets w/out proper structure, the engagement is missed #eventprofs
5:43 pm justinlocke: RT @KarinaCoreApps: there was anyone left in the room to see the presentation? heehee #eventprofsOff with their heads! --LOL
5:43 pm ericlukazewski: @eventsforgood Thanks for saying Hi Lindsay! Sorry you can't join us! #eventprofs
5:44 pm ericlukazewski: RT @chrisuschan: there should be someone in the session monitoring the backchannel who is connected with the speaker #eventprofs
5:44 pm CarlyAshR: RT @ericlukazewski A good presentation is the perfect balance of good content, interactivity, examples & practical takeaways #eventprofs
5:44 pm MichaelMcCurry: call me a rebel but I have no interest in events with a controlling element.. I will pass on them #eventprofs
5:44 pm chrisuschan: a backchannel monitoring person can and should tweet out links to things in the presentation and answer channel buzz #eventprofs
5:45 pm ZeristaSoftware: why do people still call the twitter the backchannel? At many events, it's now front and center and transparent to all #eventprofs
5:45 pm MichaelMcCurry: RT @chrisuschan: a backchannel monitor can and should tweet out links to things in the presentation and answer channel buzz #eventprofs
5:45 pm justinlocke: it used to be a speaker had to do the listening and cajoling for feedback. it's new but when kinks are out will be great comm. #eventprofs
5:45 pm ericlukazewski: Sign of the future? RT @MichaelMcCurry: ...I have no interest in events with a controlling element. I will pass on them #eventprofs
5:46 pm chrisuschan: @ZeristaSoftware what should we call the back-channel?... it needs a name. #eventprofs
5:46 pm MichaelMcCurry: Realtime feedback is the way of the future... its not going away! ppl need to embrace and accept it #eventprofs
5:46 pm ericlukazewski: As speakers, do you find it distracting to add a backchannel layer, or is it simply an extension of your physical audience? #eventprofs
5:47 pm inspirationguy: IMO tweeting at an event means analysing &condensing which means I'm thinking hard abt speaker's message #eventprofs
5:47 pm Mizcity: @MichaelMcCurry I agree, thats why I was shocked when I heard many SM users to find it beneficial. Will have to ask @db abt it #eventprofs
5:47 pm brynamarie: RT @MichaelMcCurry: Realtime feedback is the way of the future... its not going away! ppl need to embrace and accept it #eventprofs
5:47 pm chrisuschan: @ZeristaSoftware Like the term "hashtag" which is really a "channel"... who came up with "Hashtag" #eventprofs
5:47 pm ZeristaSoftware: @chrisuschan how about just calling it the session discussion channel ? #eventprofs
5:47 pm MichaelMcCurry: RT @inspirationguy: IMO tweeting at an event means analysing &condensing which means Im thinking hard abt speakers message -Gr8! #eventprofs
5:47 pm justinlocke: RT @chrisuschan: @ZeristaSoftware what should we call the back-channel?... it needs a name. #eventprofs how about "tweetstream?"

5:48 pm chrisuschan: @ericlukazewski AMEN! #eventprofs
5:49 pm kcary88: indeed RT @chrisuschan: @justinlocke i like that "Tweetstream" - one word #eventprofs
5:49 pm KarinaCoreApps: @MichaelMcCurry I agree,. One favorite for planners on our apps is rating the session for immediate feedback. #eventprofs
5:49 pm chrisuschan: @MichaelMcCurry does this mean we could do away with post-session evaluations? #eventprofs
5:49 pm justinlocke: RT @ericlukazewski: As speakers, do you find backchannel layer distratcing I would change my presentation a LOT to use/ incorp #eventprofs
5:49 pm michaelnewhouse: RT @sylviaweise: RT @MichaelMcCurry: Realtime feedback is the way of the future not going away! ppl need to embrace & accept it #eventprofs
5:50 pm X_youarehere: Many not at an event 'attend' it via the Tweeter who acts as an announcer. Also can sometines act as a question conduit. #eventprofs

5:52 pm justinlocke: the day wil come when you will HAVE to be on twitter at some presentations for it to make sense #eventprofs
5:52 pm MichaelMcCurry: @chrisuschan -not everyone is on twitter yet, so still need legacy channels for session evaluations #eventprofs

5:52 pm ericlukazewski: Are there concerns that you have for allowing SM backchannels during an event session? #eventprofs
5:52 pm kcary88: @ericlukazewski I wouldn't incorporate the visual tweetstream on stage But have a publicist manage feedback/questions backstage. #eventprofs
5:53 pm justinlocke: but i do think there's a lot to be said for a simple, fun super-engaging performance. call me old fashioned. #eventprofs
5:53 pm inspirationguy: RT @justinlocke: the day wil come when you will HAVE to be on twitter at some presentations for it to make sense #eventprofs << I hope not
5:54 pm Mizcity: @ericlukazewski yes. heckling (unbelievably) still seems to be occurring as does hashtag terrorism by spammers. #eventprofs
5:54 pm ericlukazewski: @kcary88 I agree having a channel manager is key. What are your reasons for not incorporating the visual element? #eventprofs
5:54 pm conventionplani: I'm all for incorporating twitter, etc. but be aware of your audience; don't want to isolate attendees w/out smart phones #eventprofs
5:54 pm chrisuschan: I don't think the tweetstream should ever be on a screen behind the presenter when they are speaking.... #eventprofs
5:55 pm ericlukazewski: @kcary88 I think @Mizcity may have answered my question :) // yes. heckling (unbelievably) still seems to be occurring #eventprofs
5:55 pm justinlocke: some, not all ;-) [ the day wil come when you will HAVE to be on twitter at some presentations for it to make sense #eventprofs < I hope not

5:55 pm sjbowerman: RT @chrisuschan: I dont think the tweetstream should ever be on a screen behind the presenter when they are speaking #eventprofs
5:56 pm Mizcity: @inspirationguy I agree. u will start to alienate ppl if it comes to that as well as diminish the importance of F2F presos #eventprofs
5:56 pm MichaelMcCurry: @Mizcity While I personally am not a heckler, that does serve a purpose IMO #eventprofs
5:56 pm ZeristaSoftware: I agree ...hashtag spam is an increasing problem. In particular at large events. #eventprofs
5:57 pm chrisuschan: @ericlukazewski Twitter + Heckling = ?Tweckling? http://ow.ly/1bhga #eventprofs
5:57 pm KarinaCoreApps: Perhaps devote some time specifically for a monitored visible tweetstream.. like an electronic Q and A session at the end. #eventprofs
5:57 pm justinlocke: RT @inspirationguy: (oops) some, not all. agree with you. : the day wil come when you will HAVE to be on twtr #eventprofs << I hope not
5:57 pm Mizcity: @ericlukazewski I think u have to have someone monitoring the stream. As much as everyone hates censorship,its needed to a point #eventprofs
5:58 pm justinlocke: RT @sjbowerman: RT @chrisuschan: I dont think the tweetstream should ever be behind " yes, how would prstr see it? #eventprofs

5:58 pm chrisuschan: maybe just have a session without a speaker, just have a backchannel LOL #eventprofs
5:58 pm MichaelMcCurry: @Mizcity Censorship is not the answer... addressing the problem that caused it is the solution.. bad speaker needs to know it #eventprofs
5:59 pm ericlukazewski: Are there ways to filter 'twecklers' yet still have a visual stream available? #eventprofs
5:59 pm justinlocke: how do you heckle someone on twitter?? #eventprofs
5:59 pm LindsayFultz: @sjbowerman @chrisuschan: tweetstream behind the presenter when they are speaking would distract the hell out of me. #eventprofs
5:59 pm kcary88: @KarinaCoreApps Yes! A visual tweetstream can be useful but you have to know the appropriate time and place to use it Format too #eventprofs
5:59 pm inspirationguy: @MichaelMcCurry @Mizcity a good channel manager could feed in from the critics but filter the pointless hecklers #eventprofs
5:59 pm Mizcity: @ericlukazewski glad I could help :) #eventprofs
5:59 pm lyksumlikrish: @LindsayFultz Me too! It should be off to the side, if it's up on the stage at all. #eventprofs
6:00 pm justinlocke: tweetstream behind: yes, you run the danger of there being 2 shows at once. #eventprofs
6:00 pm kcary88: there is a way to filter people, not ideas or specific comments. RT @ericlukazewski: Are there ways to filter twecklers #eventprofs

6:00 pm MichaelMcCurry: @inspirationguy The real truth is the Heckler is going to get his message out there you cant block it..not on a hashtag #eventprofs
6:00 pm Mizcity: @MichaelMcCurry I wasn't refering to filtering negative comments- i tghink those are important as long as they are constructive #eventprofs
6:01 pm chrisuschan: Twitter people need to remember their online presence also defines their face to face presence #eventprofs
6:01 pm lyksumlikrish: @MichaelMcCurry Yes, but we don't have to amplify it either. I think it's like giving your 4 yr old your car keys #eventprofs
6:01 pm sylviaweise: RT @chrisuschan: Twitter people need to remember their online presence also defines their face to face presence - Amen - #eventprofs

6:02 pm justinlocke: well i think it's not fair to handle live hecklers and twtr hecklers at once. need a partner with droll wit. #eventprofs
6:03 pm ZeristaSoftware: The counterbalance to heckling is reputation. If people are heckling, try to make them visible / accountable . #eventprofs
6:03 pm MichaelMcCurry: @Mizcity My point was you can't filter comments made to a Hashtag not possible! #eventprofs
