11:06 am iandavmcg: companies will start to truly figure out how to use #socialmedia in the context of building relationships with their audiences #eventprofs
11:07 am ericlukazewski: Hi all, Eric Lukazewski from @EchelonExhibits #eventprofs
11:07 am spkrinteractive: Prediction: 2010 is the year of Twitter at events. Most event planners will somewhat get act together to harness hashtags. #eventprofs
11:07 am Mizcity: Nice to see so many new faces today. Welcome everyone :) #eventprofs
11:08 am spkrinteractive: @iandavmcg Wow! That is a lot of progress in one year. What percentage do you think will work it out? #eventprofs
11:08 am PinkDeb: Hi all still joining us! It sure seems that Social Media is here to stay and to that end are you seeing it in event-space? #eventprofs
11:08 am PYMzac: RT @GoGreenDisplays Top 10 event trends for 2010. Good 4 any1 in the event business!http://bit.ly/4KovI8 #eventprofs (RT @LeslieMcLellan)
11:08 am PinkDeb: Yes - Twitter certainly seems to be the buzz at events - any examples? *moderator #eventprofs
11:08 am iandavmcg: #socialmedia via mobile devices will become more prominent, driving face-to-face interaction #eventprofs
11:09 am lizkingevents: @spkrinteractive I agree! I think there will be great advances in the use of Twitter in 2010. #eventprofs
11:09 am lizkingevents: Lots of crowdsourcing at events and better convos around back chatter. #eventprofs
11:09 am iandavmcg: @spkrinteractive note the word "start" :) let's say 5-10% #eventprofs
11:09 am FeliciaSlattery: @iandavmcg One of my fave ways to use Twitter at events is tweet other speakers awesome comments. Builds buzz 4 those not there #eventprofs
11:09 am planetplanitbiz: Paul from Planet Planit here - Sorry but I cannot join the conversation today as going out now. Love to know how it goes #eventprofs
11:10 am ericlukazewski: I see it used more at events, by exhibitors & organizers alike, but I still think it still needs work to be utilized effectively #eventprofs
11:10 am PinkDeb: We were involved in a twitter Lounge that was a lot of fun and information #eventprofs
11:10 am lizkingevents: I think social media will help events go green - less printing necessary w/ SM advances in relationship building/info sharing #eventprofs
11:10 am HilarybyDesign: #eventprofs intro Hilary Howes, chairholder with the Color Marketing Group, Creative Director for Dazian Creative Fabric Environments &...
11:10 am spkrinteractive: @lizkingevents Again, I think "lots" is ambitious. The more progressive may use mobile for event crowdsourcing #eventprofs
11:10 am iandavmcg: Google Wave will get some traction... but will grow slowly #eventprofs
11:10 am PinkDeb: mobile devices and apps for sure - how many of us are using smart phones? or how many of us are not! *moderator #eventprofs
11:11 am jessica_laine: @FeliciaSlattery it's like instant feedback #eventprofs
11:11 am Mizcity: With growth of SM use by event profs and attendees, I think we will see a trend in online communities surrounding these events. #eventprofs
11:11 am FeliciaSlattery: Idea for events: pay an expert Twitter user in the field of the event to tweet the highlights of event w the hashtag. #eventprofs
11:11 am PinkDeb: so with Twitter - do you think all events need a live feed were people can "meet" #eventprofs
11:12 am lyksumlikrish: @ericlukazewski I'm curious to know what you think are the issues that need working out for Twitter exhibitors #eventprofs
11:12 am spkrinteractive: RT @iandavmcg: Google Wave will get some traction... but will grow slowly -> Agree, pretty much only early adopters in 2010 #eventprofs
11:12 am PYMConnect: Meeting professionals: Connect with your peers by joining our social network @PYMConnecthttp://www.pymconnect.com #eventprofs #mpi
11:12 am iandavmcg: Brands will realize that "We have a Twitter Feed and Facebook Page" will be as exciting as "We have telephones" in 2010 #eventprofs
11:13 am PinkDeb: can someone talk a bit about crowd sourcing - is it basically about data collect? *moderator #eventprofs
11:13 am Mizcity: @lizkingevents exactly.I think you'll also see a spike in the way we market our event sponsors and brands via SM and live events #eventprofs
11:13 am LindsayFultz: Yes I agree w/ @lizkingevents #SM will definitely help events go #green. #eventprofs
11:13 am spkrinteractive: Prediction: 2010 will be looked back on as the first year each person's own mobile device was used to interact with event #eventprofs
11:13 am FeliciaSlattery: @PinkDeb events I've been to have been successful in having pre-event/night before tweet-ups for informal networking #eventprofs
11:13 am PinkDeb: I agree - @iandavmcg: Brands will realize that "We have a Twitter Feed " will be as exciting as "We have telephones" in 2010 #eventprofs
11:13 am digital_chuck: @lizkingevents Your social network will be important as an event owner. It would be nice if it had a greening impact. #eventprofs
11:14 am LindsayFultz: Yes to the live feed where people can "meet" @pinkdeb #eventprofs
11:14 am Mizcity: I think a clearly determined hashtag is necessary as is starting convo pre event and keeping it going post event. #eventprofs
11:14 am spkrinteractive: @PinkDeb crowdsourcing is about contributions being made more democratically than a few ppl making decisions. #eventprofs
11:14 am ericlukazewski: @lyksumlikrish While it's great to see the implementation, I think most exhibitors lack a strategy to use & measure effectively #eventprofs
11:14 am FeliciaSlattery: @PinkDeb I think all events should have their own hashtag for sure & have it announced at the conf & in programs, emailed, etc. #eventprofs
11:15 am imasteips: NEW Blog: "How Green Are Virtual Events? About 142 time more!" - http://bit.ly/90QknB #green#virtual #eventprofs
11:15 am FERevents: @PinkDeb @spkrinteractive Agreed on Rob's Pred! Use of my smart phone became a job requirement 4 me this year 2 mng my events. #eventprofs
11:15 am PinkDeb: Are people that are not using social media - are we leaving them out? Do they just have to get on the bus? #eventprofs
11:15 am iandavmcg: @PinkDeb Crowdsourcing becomes an engagement, content building and cost savings tool for brands that adopt it correctly #eventprofs
11:15 am spkrinteractive: @PinkDeb It is also about getting solution contributions from beyond your normal "internal" sources. #eventprofs
11:15 am Perfectprod: I also agree with social networking will be the new "it" way to market in 2010. Do you think it will take away from advertising? #eventprofs
11:15 am inspirationguy: IMO Twitter has set new targets for creating buzz before, during & after events. Challenge for 2010 is to move beyond that. #eventprofs
11:15 am Mizcity: I think we'll see more advisory rules about using live tweets, especially during speeches at conferences. #eventprofs
11:16 am spkrinteractive: crowdsourcing example: Netflix created $1M prize for anyone who could get recommendation engine to a certain quality level #eventprofs
11:16 am PinkDeb: Ultimately yes- Social Media extends the event before - during - after #eventprofs
11:16 am lyksumlikrish: @ericlukazewski Would love to see examples of strategies that work. Do you have any? #eventprofs
11:16 am Perfectprod: @PinkDeb I dont think we are leaving them out, but we need to bring them in! #eventprofs
11:16 am iandavmcg: @PinkDeb people who do not use #socialmedia will be engaged through other channels, although I encourage adoption #eventprofs
11:16 am FERevents: @Perfectprod I think SM can "enhance" event advertising. #eventprofs
11:17 am Mizcity: @PinkDeb as a field,it's the job of those in the know to try to get our colleagues up to speed.whether they adopt is up to them. #eventprofs
11:17 am digital_chuck: @PinkDeb Crowdsourcing can also make your customers feel more involved - like they have a voice. #eventprofs
11:17 am PinkDeb: So Crowdsourcing is another Prediction for 2010 #eventprofs
11:17 am spkrinteractive: @Mizcity Agree. In 2010 there will be established best practices about display of twitter walls during presentations. #eventprofs
11:18 am inspirationguy: Task for brands is to establish loyalty via SocMed that has a lasting effect beyond the event #eventprofs
11:18 am samueljsmith: Whoah - I had to run an errand and just got back. Lots of great predictions here! #eventprofs
11:18 am PinkDeb: Google Wave - It will start slow in 2010 - perhaps a slow trend *moderator #eventprofs
11:18 am lyksumlikrish: @iandavmcg I think a lot of people who don't use SM will be encouraged to try it because of this new use at events #eventprofs
11:18 am ericlukazewski: @lyksumlikrish I'm developing a case study of a recent example, but Exhibitor has posted some great ones: http://bit.ly/8ByN3J #eventprofs
11:18 am spkrinteractive: @PinkDeb Much of the crowdsourcing in 2010 will be driven by apps available for mobile devices. #eventprofs
11:19 am Mizcity: @spkrinteractive I have a feeling we'll see clauses go into speakers contracts regarding live twitter feeds- what do you think? #eventprofs
11:19 am lizkingevents: @PinkDeb I definitely agree. RT Google Wave - It will start slow in 2010 - perhaps a slow trend #eventprofs
11:19 am iandavmcg: How Social Media Amplifies Events: http://bit.ly/14nPqI #eventprofs
11:19 am inspirationguy: @PinkDeb IMHO Google Wave will have be taken up faster than twitter was. #eventprofs
11:19 am PinkDeb: Do you think we will see many "new" SoMe forms in 2010 or an integration? #eventprofs
11:20 am spkrinteractive: Predection: Twitter at events will be the use case that drives many non-users into Twitter in 2010 #eventprofs
11:20 am lizkingevents: I think this has 2 happen @spkrinteractive I have a feeling we'll see clauses go into speakers contracts re: live twitter feeds #eventprofs
11:20 am ericlukazewski: What are everyone's long term predictions for Google Wave? #eventprofs
11:20 am lyksumlikrish: @ericlukazewski Thanks! Will RT. I think lots of people will want this info. #eventprofs
11:20 am needactionnow: RT @iandavmcg: How Social Media Amplifies Events: http://bit.ly/14nPqI #eventprofs
11:20 am iandavmcg: Huge prediction: Ian, Sam, Mike and Jeff will collaborate and write the most important events blogpost of this century :) #eventprofs
11:21 am FeliciaSlattery: @Mizcity @spkrinteractive IMHO you can negotiate w speakers on creating event buzz thru social media pre- during & post event. #eventprofs
11:21 am spkrinteractive: @Mizcity Heh, yes. Though most bureaus r pretty unaware of what's going on w/ tech so could be end of 2010 for Twitter clauses #eventprofs
11:21 am iandavmcg: I hate to say this but Twitter will peak and begin losing traction in 2010... #eventprofs
11:21 am ericlukazewski: @lyksumlikrish You're welcome! Thanks for RTing! There's other great SM case studies in that article, outside of Twitter #eventprofs
11:21 am mrshasten: I think we'll see integration like Wave and Twitter @PinkDeb: Do U think we'll see "new" SoMe forms in 2010 or an integration? #eventprofs
11:21 am PinkDeb: 2010 prediction for events and social Media - safe to say Smart Phones will be tool for us all from data collect to credit card #eventprofs
11:21 am samueljsmith: @iandavmcg You crack me up #eventprofs
11:21 am Mizcity: Presenters, have you discussed use of live feeds at the event prior to your scheduled talk? Was it included in your contract? #eventprofs
11:22 am lizkingevents: Why do you think that? @iandavmcg I hate to say this but Twitter will peak and begin losing traction in 2010... #eventprofs
11:22 am FERevents: @iandavmcg What do you think Twitter will lose it's traction to? #eventprofs
11:22 am PinkDeb: @iandavmcg what will take over from Twitter do you think? #eventprofs
11:22 am Mizcity: @FeliciaSlattery I agree 100%. I think future contracts with speakers will include pre and post online engaement with audience. #eventprofs
11:22 am digital_chuck: @iandavmcg It will be interesting to see how many people continue to use Twitter into 2010. #eventprofs
11:22 am ericlukazewski: @iandavmcg What are your reasons for thinking it will lose traction? #eventprofs
11:22 am spkrinteractive: @iandavmcg LOL. I want in on that blog post. :) #eventprofs
11:23 am FERevents: @mrshasten @PinkDeb - I'm already planning on implementing Wave & Twitter into my events in 2010. #eventprofs
11:23 am samueljsmith: Prediction I think that we will see more SM tools used to improve the Q&A session. This is an easy place to improve. #eventprofs
11:23 am mrshasten: Agreed, at least for meetings RT@iandavmcg I hate to say this but Twitter will peak and begin losing traction in 2010... #eventprofs
11:23 am govizin: How Green Are Virtual Events? About 142 time more! - http://bit.ly/90QknB #green #virtual#eventprofs #info
11:24 am digital_chuck: @lizkingevents Too much spam or broadcasting could discourage people from participating. #eventprofs
11:24 am samueljsmith: RT @Mizcity: @FeliciaSlattery I agree 100%. I think future contracts with spkrs will include pre & post online engagmnt w/ aud. #eventprofs
11:24 am spkrinteractive: @iandavmcg What is your definition of "traction"? Hype or user hours? #eventprofs
11:24 am FeliciaSlattery: @Mizcity @digital_chuck the smartest speakers know creating buzz for an event is a win-win situation for event & speaker. #eventprofs
11:24 am Mizcity: @LindsayFultz I think thats more to protect the team and owners. i think speakers clauses will be to protect themselves #eventprofs
11:24 am LindsayFultz: I can see speakers having clauses in contracts @Mizcity @spkrinteractive A number of pro athletes & the NBA I think already do #eventprofs
11:25 am spkrinteractive: @FERevents How are you going to use Wave? What best practices have you seen? #eventprofs
11:25 am digital_chuck: @lizkingevents What we might see instead are tweeps cultivating their network and weeding out others that create too much noise. #eventprofs
11:25 am FERevents: Absolutely! RT @samueljsmith I think that we will see more SM tools used 2 improve the Q&A session - easy place 2 improve. #eventprofs
11:25 am amgmtgroup: How would you enforce this? RT @lizkingevents: @spkrinteractive: ... clauses in speakers contracts re: live twitter feeds #eventprofs
11:25 am samueljsmith: Prediction: I think attendee demands will push slow-to-social-media organizers to start using it. #eventprofs
11:25 am PinkDeb: more people are listening to the bloggers/SoMe folk - is there a prediction here - our future newscasters pulled from this pool? #eventprofs
11:25 am FeliciaSlattery: @iandavmcg regardless of the specific medium, social media is here to stay. Twitter may decline, but something new will arise #eventprofs
11:26 am ericlukazewski: @FERevents Have you developed a strategy for using Wave? I'd be curious to hear your ideas. #eventprofs
11:26 am CiaraDaykin: love using twitter to get buzz around event w peeps who aren't there. Gr8 to sell event products to peeps following along @ hm #eventprofs
11:26 am iandavmcg: too early to tell what will catch fire from Twitter, but the market is saturated with tools #eventprofs
11:26 am spkrinteractive: @Mizcity Yes speaker Twitter clause will likely say that Twitter wall CANNOT be shown in the room during the presentation. #eventprofs
11:26 am Mizcity: @FeliciaSlattery @digital_chuck absolutely. Planners should be asking for links to event on speakers blogs, calenders, etc. #eventprofs
11:26 am ericlukazewski: @MarketLikeAChik Haha! I can't disagree with that frustration! #eventprofs
11:26 am iandavmcg: Traction = net adoption and user retention... Twitter quitters are growing #eventprofs
11:26 am LindsayFultz: events/conferences/tradeshows can B expensive. Virtual events R more green, cost next 2 nothing & key people R more accessible #eventprofs
11:27 am lyksumlikrish: RT @samueljsmith: Prediction: I think attendee demands will push slow-to-social-media organizers to start using it. #eventprofs
11:27 am iandavmcg: @FeliciaSlattery Agreed... SM is here to stay, but will soon become a part of doing business... not something special or new... #eventprofs
11:27 am PinkDeb: anyone any experiences with Google Wave with events yet? *moderator #eventprofs
11:28 am Mizcity: @spkrinteractive Thats what I assumed as there have been so many incidents lately. but if speakers dont include it, fair game. #eventprofs
11:28 am PinkDeb: agreed RT @samueljsmith: Prediction: I think attendee demands will push slow-to-social-media organizers to start using it. #eventprofs
11:28 am spkrinteractive: @samueljsmith Easy to over-estimate how fast event and speaker industries will move. Sometimes reminds me of immovable object. #eventprofs
11:28 am CiaraDaykin: surprising though how many speakers still diss twitter's power. even funnier when attendees tweet about them saying this #eventprofs
11:28 am iandavmcg: Mother of potatoes this chat is packed with a lot of great ideas. #eventprofs
11:28 am digital_chuck: @spkrinteractive or that the Twitter wall be moderated. #eventprofs
11:29 am Mizcity: @spkrinteractive not that I endorse using it,i think its a distraction. still youll see less knowledgeable planners utilizing it #eventprofs
11:29 am mrshasten: Us too! Hope to see best practices first @FERevents I'm already planning on implementing Wave & Twitter into my events in 2010. #eventprofs
11:29 am ericlukazewski: @iandavmcg Twitter quitters are growing: I agree, but I think Twitter growers are growing and Twitter users are maturing as well #eventprofs
11:29 am PinkDeb: we are at half way - lets continue the predictions and open it up to events in 2010 *moderator #eventprofs
11:29 am FeliciaSlattery: yes! part of biz RT @iandavmcg: SM is here to stay, but will soon become a part of doing business. not something special or new. #eventprofs
11:29 am cmikaren: Convergys survey says unhappy customers will tell 45: #eventprofs via @peoplenotnumber: #cmismhttp://bit.ly/8O6yOP
11:29 am samueljsmith: @spkrinteractive Agreed - that is why I think Attendees will drive change. #eventprofs
11:29 am iandavmcg: Exponential thinking: Google Wave (or something like it) will become the next virtual events platform... #eventprofs
11:30 am PinkDeb: Obviously Social Media is going to continue to effect events big time in 2010 *moderator #eventprofs
11:30 am Mizcity: Unfortunately,I think you'll see slow to adapt users implementing SM incorrectly bc theres pressure to use.SM plans are needed! #eventprofs
11:30 am iandavmcg: @ericlukazewski Agreed... #eventprofs
11:30 am FeliciaSlattery: @CiaraDaykin not all speakers "get it." We're not typically a tech-savvy bunch (but a few of love social media!) #eventprofs
11:30 am spkrinteractive: @samueljsmith Agreed, much like employees are driving change in corporate IT. End user demand is whats important. #eventprofs
11:31 am Perfectprod: @PinkDeb what is Google Wave, I haven't heard of it yet? #eventprofs
11:31 am PinkDeb: How about event budgets in 2010 - any predictions? *moderator #eventprofs
11:31 am HilarybyDesign: anybody adding a twitter feed to their presentation projections? That will be a trend to encourage participation #eventprofs
11:31 am FERevents: @spkrinteractive @ericlukazewski Google Wave uses/ideas 4 Events http://ow.ly/KFOx Started my strategy yesterday, huntin 4 BPs #eventprofs
11:31 am digital_chuck: @iandavmcg Agreed. As social becomes more of the norm, we stop talking about it and work within + around it. #eventprofs
11:31 am ericlukazewski: Does anyone have predictions for extended SM technologies? How about augmented reality at events? #eventprofs
11:31 am lyksumlikrish: RT @iandavmcg: Exponential thinking: Google Wave (or something like it) will become the next virtual events platform... #eventprofs
11:32 am iandavmcg: Event predictions: Smaller, more focused and targeted events are the norm, not driven by economy anymore, but performance #eventprofs
11:32 am CiaraDaykin: @FeliciaSlattery some speakers underestimate how much attendees love twitter, can ruin your sales & credibility when you diss it #eventprofs
11:32 am StephenDemange: RT @imasteips: NEW Blog: "How Green Are Virtual Events? About 142 time more!" -http://bit.ly/90QknB #green #virtual #eventprofs
11:32 am ericlukazewski: @FeliciaSlattery SM will soon become a part of doing business. ME: So true, thus the importance of a developed usage strategy #eventprofs
11:32 am spkrinteractive: @FERevents Keep us posted. I am skeptical for large events. Wave seems to work best for teams with a good working relationship #eventprofs
11:33 am Jeffhurt: Steps Show Organizers & Exhibitors Can Take To Reduce Costs #tradeshow #eventprofs by @sjknutson http://ow.ly/KCp8
11:33 am iandavmcg: @ericlukazewski augmented reality will not gain prominence until it is truly accessible to all via 4G broadband capabilities #eventprofs
11:33 am samueljsmith: Prediction: In 12 mos, we will spend more time on "sharable content" than the 7 ways to used Linked in & FB at events. #eventprofs
11:33 am FERevents: @PinkDeb Event budgets I've seen for 2010 are being slashed as I type. #eventprofs
11:34 am CiaraDaykin: really cool RT @FERevents Google Wave uses/ideas 4 Events http://ow.ly/KFOx Started my strategy yesterday, huntin 4 BPs #eventprofs
11:34 am mrshasten: I think we'll see an increase, but a cautious one. @PinkDeb: How about event budgets in 2010 - any predictions? *moderator #eventprofs
11:34 am samueljsmith: RT @iandavmcg: Event predictions: Smaller, more focused & targeted events are the norm, not driven by economy anymore, but perf. #eventprofs
11:35 am FERevents: @spkrinteractive That makes 2 of us! My plan it to test it out with 60 ppl & see what happens. #eventprofs
11:35 am ericlukazewski: @FERevents Wonderful! Would love to hear of your impressions once you implement. Good luck! #eventprofs
11:35 am PinkDeb: and are there anyone using any of the Surface technologies yet in events? have seen in exhibits for sure maybe cost prohibitive #eventprofs
11:36 am BORIS_VHC: @HilarybyDesign Yes, twitter feeds trending, not necessarily while a speaker is on stage. Can be distracting. #eventprofs
11:36 am digital_chuck: @ericlukazewski AR browsers need to be standardized. A browser needs to ship on every phone before AR can move to mainstream. #eventprofs
11:36 am FERevents: @ericlukazewski Thanks! Following you & will stay in touch :) #eventprofs
11:37 am PinkDeb: I think we will see more proprietary events too in 2010- Brands can measure and control environments *moderator #eventprofs
