8:11 pm marksylvester: Specifically - does the SM implementation have to pay for itself? Or better yet, become a revenue center. #eventprofs
8:11 pm KatrinaG: *what #eventprofs
8:11 pm jessrafferty: @ready2spark I am in charge of a social media project for my company. Centralizing info for meeting planners across the firm #eventprofs

8:12 pm KatrinaG: disturbing I cant see myself in TweetGrid >.> #eventprofs
8:12 pm psalinger: @TonyAtCrowdVine so, how were customers feeling out of touch and what was reaction to SM efforts from organizers #eventprofs
8:12 pm Jeffhurt: @ready2spark @armano has some great writings about creating a social organizatiion empowering every1 w/ sm. #eventprofs
8:12 pm csalomonlee: @ready2spark i think some are doing "social media roles" but think this will just become part of your skillset #eventprofs
8:12 pm TonyAtCrowdVine: Without a dedicated SM person, you really have to be picky about what you have time for. #eventprofs
8:13 pm MichaelMcCurry: @TonyAtCrowdVine How so Tony, plz explain #eventprofs
8:13 pm jessrafferty: We are also working on an SMMP to centralize the meeting department as well #eventprofs
8:13 pm marksylvester: @readytospark http://bit.ly/JdLLk tons of listings for SM jobs are posted here - and yes, lots of people are adding #eventprofs
8:13 pm introNetworks: @readytospark http://bit.ly/JdLLk tons of listings for SM jobs are posted here - and yes, lots of people are adding #eventprofs
8:13 pm ready2spark: @jessrafferty @TonyAtCrowdVine What, in ur opinion, is the key to creating a successful internal SM position? #eventprofs
8:13 pm psalinger: @ready2spark can you clarify what you mean by a poistion for SM? as in headcount for SM specifically? #eventprofs
8:13 pm WY20: @ready2spark thanks for having me ;) grateful #eventprofs welcomes vendors! #eventprofs
8:14 pm ASProductions: Hey everyone. Damany Daniel- Experience Specialist w/ All Star Productions in Dallas. Been a while, but I'm back. #eventprofs
8:14 pm TonyAtCrowdVine: @ready2spark Right now, since everything is new and requires learning, key qual is personality #eventprofs
8:14 pm KatrinaG: @ASProductions Nice to meet you! #eventprofs
8:14 pm ready2spark: @psalinger A position solely dedicated to overseeing SM initiatives for a company. #eventprofs
8:14 pm psalinger: @ready2spark or, should the question be, how do you make everyone a social media person in your org? #eventprofs
8:15 pm ready2spark: @ASProductions Great to see you back! #eventprofs
8:15 pm TonyAtCrowdVine: @psalinger The job desc I saw was attendee and speaker outreach through major SM: Twitter, FB, Blogs #eventprofs
8:15 pm theexpogroup: As a sponsor, yes, I would se the value in having The Expo Group seen as supporting innovative tech & having direct contact info #eventprofs
8:15 pm jessrafferty: @ready2spark I would say updates w/relevant info and participation from everyone. Or else what is the point #eventprofs
8:15 pm TonyAtCrowdVine: @MichaelMcCurry Moving to fast. Explain which? #eventprofs
8:15 pm jessrafferty: @psalinger lol exactly! #eventprofs
8:15 pm csalomonlee: @psalinger very good point - just need to have a strong policy and training on the tools to achieve a strategy. #eventprofs
8:16 pm ASProductions: Really excited about the possibilities that SM opens up for those willing to engage properly. Engaging *properly* is the key! #eventprofs
8:16 pm KatrinaG: test #eventprofs
8:16 pm ready2spark: @psalinger :) Perhaps. I'm trying to get a guage on how corps are adopting this as a permanent + critical strategy 4 business. #eventprofs
8:16 pm ASProductions: @ready2spark thanks! #eventprofs
8:16 pm psalinger: @ready2spark ok, that's what I thought you meant, but wanted to make sure. so, then, what is actual role of that person? #eventprofs
8:16 pm TonyAtCrowdVine: @psalinger My partner, who has been researching corporate Twittering, finds personality easier to do than training. #eventprofs
8:17 pm ASProductions: We need to remember that SM is about extending the conversation to where the ppl are, not just promoting our msg. #eventprofs
8:17 pm psalinger: @MsStallings for me as well, which is why I ask the question. #eventprofs
8:17 pm theexpogroup: @psalinger @ready2spark At the expo group it's Corp Comm -- SM rolled in with PR, Adv other Mrktg #eventprofs
8:17 pm MichaelMcCurry: @ASProductions or better yet letting them be part of the message #eventprofs
8:18 pm KineticEvents: Agree, this is what we try to do. RT @psalinger @ready2spark how do you make everyone a social media person in your org? #eventprofs
8:18 pm TonyAtCrowdVine: So, back to Mark's question. How are you looking at ROI or more generally what problems do you want SM to solve? #eventprofs
8:18 pm psalinger: @theexpogroup at Oracle, they are part of it, but we have a xfunctional team/lab w/in mktg that evangelizes and explores #eventprofs
8:18 pm ready2spark: @psalinger That's a great question. I'd love 2 know what companies are doing. #eventprofs
8:18 pm ASProductions: @MichaelMcCurry So true. engagement is the key. If you don't engage ppl, it is just propoganda without context. #eventprofs
8:18 pm Jeffhurt: @psalinger @ready2spark David @Armano has fr8writings about how organizations can re-design themselves as social systems #eventprofs
8:19 pm WY20: @TonyAtCrowdVine @psalinger @ready2spark many problems come w/ having "everyone" be the voice of your co (im a former laywer) #eventprofs
8:19 pm psalinger: @JeffHurt - do you have a link or access to those writings? #eventprofs
8:19 pm theexpogroup: @tonyatcrowdvine what do you mean personalisty easier than training? #eventprofs
8:20 pm ASProductions: @bestinbridal is a bridal show in TX that is using twitter as a part of their event and encouraging ppl to interact live. #eventprofs
8:20 pm marksylvester: @TonyAtCrowdVine our clients need to see how SM will improve the overall satifaction of the event - we tie that to ROI #eventprofs
8:20 pm Partyaficionado: @TonyAtCrowdVine Good q. for the clients I help w SM it is measured in sales of their prod or serv. For me it's more clients. #eventprofs
8:20 pm ready2spark: @Jeffhurt Thanks 4 sharing. I've added @Armano. #eventprofs
8:20 pm MichaelMcCurry: RT @ASProductions: @MichaelMcCurry So true. engagement is the key. If you don't engage ppl, it is propoganda without context. #eventprofs
8:21 pm KatrinaG: @ASProductions wow how so? RE: bridal show and Twitter #eventprofs
8:21 pm psalinger: @TonyAtCrowdVine I think that is part of it, but I see the role as kind of orchestrator of SM across LOBs #eventprofs
8:21 pm MsStallings: OAUG used Twtr 2 promote exhibit hall traffic as well as sessions, and just to spread news at their annual meeting-w/ success #eventprofs
8:21 pm Jeffhurt: @psalinger @ready2spark Here's link to Orgs redeisgning themselves as social systems by @armano #eventprofs http://ow.ly/gJA6
8:21 pm ASProductions: @TonyAtCrowdVine we are not looking to have SM "solve" any problems, more to help us understand and connect w/ ppl more. #eventprofs
8:22 pm TonyAtCrowdVine: @Partyaficionado Yeah marketing/sales is usually near the top. Do you ever use the Twitter Advanced Search to find new cstomers? #eventprofs
8:22 pm 7degreescom: RT @Jeffhurt: Heres link to Orgs redeisgning themselves as social systems by @armano #eventprofs http://ow.ly/gJA6 #eventprofs
8:22 pm ready2spark: @Jeffhurt I'm beginning to think you have an encyclopedia for a brain :) #eventprofs
8:22 pm psalinger: @MsStallings what kind of success stats do u have from OAUG? was this from Collaborate? #eventprofs
8:22 pm WY20: @Partyaficionado for me, all clients, too - though i'd be happy to help my clients with SM since it's vital #eventprofs
8:22 pm PinkDeb: hi all - we spoke before too about extending the conversation before and after your event - #eventprofs
8:22 pm TonyAtCrowdVine: @psalinger Right, well @comcastcares is sort of the leader in that. They have a 12 person team with lots of internal access. #eventprofs
8:22 pm psalinger: @JeffHurt thanks Jeff, will check it out later after the chat #eventprofs
8:22 pm MsStallings: @ASProductions I can't stand those w/ inactive accts, or just use Twtr 2 broadcast, or have 10,000 followers, 0 following=FAIL #eventprofs
8:23 pm TonyAtCrowdVine: RT @Jeffhurt: Orgs redeisgning themselves as social systems by @armano http://ow.ly/gJA6 #eventprofs
8:23 pm ASProductions: @KatrinaG initially they were just broadcasting the happenings of the event but then we proposed actually making interactive... #eventprofs
8:24 pm 7degreescom: @ready2spark I am. #eventprofs
8:24 pm TonyAtCrowdVine: @PinkDeb I think that's a great idea, but what's driving the desire? Better marketing? More value for members/attendees? #eventprofs
8:24 pm csalomonlee: TonyAtCrowdVine someone recently wrote about Cisco's social media efforts w/how they measure for now: http://bit.ly/kTzhm #eventprofs
8:24 pm MichaelMcCurry: RT @Jeffhurt: Heres link to Orgs redeisgning themselves as social systems by @armano #eventprofs http://ow.ly/gJA6 #eventprofs
8:24 pm KatrinaG: @ASProductions That's great! how do guests interact? or non-guests with the show? #eventprofs
8:25 pm Partyaficionado: @TonyAtCrowdVine abslutly! & use tweetbeep to track keywords for ind. & competitors. ie:Amazon approach if you like X u'll lv Y #eventprofs
8:25 pm TonyAtCrowdVine: RT @csalomonlee: How Cisco measures social media efforts http://bit.ly/kTzhm #eventprofs
8:25 pm ready2spark: @TonyAtCrowdVine What are the biggest changes your seeing in SM needs? #eventprofs
8:25 pm MsStallings: @psalinger Someone tweeted 2 drive exhibit hall traffic w/ Starbucks giveaways-cards gone in 3 min, happy attendees & exhibitors #eventprofs
8:25 pm psalinger: @TonyAtCrowdVine or, more, deeper customer interactions and touchpoints and driving to sales? #eventprofs
8:25 pm Jeffhurt: @theexpogroup Yes, there's the evil side of me that asks tough questoins and pokes hornet nests & the good side. :) #eventprofs
8:26 pm PinkDeb: @TonyAtCrowdVine building relationships - more value - longer discussions more connectivity - and it cost time right now #eventprofs
8:26 pm Partyaficionado: @WY20 I find the more success or experience i have with SM my clients feel comf. asking me 2 help them. #eventprofs
8:26 pm TonyAtCrowdVine: @ready2spark Have you added SM services to your offering? #eventprofs
8:26 pm ASProductions: @KatrinaG Those w/ accts will be able to discuss things like dresses on stage, giveaways at booths, etc. make it a public forum #eventprofs
8:27 pm psalinger: @MsStallings do u know if Starbucks captured any data that this worked to drive sales and how much pull they got from it? #eventprofs
8:27 pm PinkDeb: i see my colleagues like @bevisible offer more SM to their clients - but the web is her thing already...and clients want it! #eventprofs
8:27 pm WY20: @Partyaficionado we were just renting walkies to production (tv/film/commercials) until recently - that world doesnt play w/ SM #eventprofs
8:27 pm mandiengram: @ready2spark I think it would be extremely profitable. I get lots of inquiries about social media from event planners! #eventprofs
8:27 pm TonyAtCrowdVine: @ready2spark Biggest change? Scope. More usage of more services by more mainstream folks. #eventprofs
8:27 pm ready2spark: @TonyAtCrowdVine Not a fit with my current business (structures), but I may be going back into consulting very soon. #eventprofs
8:27 pm Partyaficionado: Very few can claim to be SM "experts", but the more you use, the more you can help those just learning. #eventprofs
8:27 pm csalomonlee: besides measuring regs, can you measure long-term impact - more engaged customers thru increased biz, WOM, etc.? #eventprofs
8:28 pm KatrinaG: @ASProductions Nice! #eventprofs
8:28 pm MichaelMcCurry: hmmmm my tweets are not showing up here or on tweetdeck #eventprofs
8:28 pm ready2spark: @TonyAtCrowdVine Does that make ur job more diff. Assume early adopters understand concepts & technology much better. #eventprofs
8:29 pm ready2spark: @MichaelMcCurry You're back :) #eventprofs
8:29 pm TonyAtCrowdVine: @ready2spark Question about dedicated SM is timely. Necessary now for expertise, but long term for the amount of work. #eventprofs
8:29 pm WY20: @Partyaficionado but that makes gr8 sense - i run 5 accts, 2 of which were marketing campaigns (1 for a book, 1 for a company) #eventprofs
8:29 pm tempoliveevents: @MichaelMcCurry im not showing up on tweetchat. only tweetdeck. i see you on tweetdeck. #eventprofs
8:29 pm MsStallings: @PinkDeb AAPA does good job keeping attendees engaged post-conf, promote useing #PhysAsst by phys assts so they 'hear' community #eventprofs
8:30 pm TonyAtCrowdVine: @mandiengram Would you think about specializing? #eventprofs
8:30 pm psalinger: @WY20 agree that not everyone shld ncssrly B voice of company, but U shld B able 2 create SM culture of customer centricity, no? #eventprofs
8:30 pm MsStallings: @MichaelMcCurry I'm having challenges too, switching back and forth. So frustrating!! #eventprofs
8:30 pm Jeffhurt: @MichaelMcCurry I'm having the same problem. even stuff I send through Tweetdeck or web not always showing up. I'm giving up. #eventprofs
8:30 pm MichaelMcCurry: @tempoliveevents hmmmm very strange #eventprofs
8:30 pm ready2spark: @TonyAtCrowdVine Do you think it can be outsourced? If so, to what degree? #eventprofs
8:31 pm ASProductions: @PinkDeb How long do you think is too long for post event engagement? #eventprofs
8:31 pm TonyAtCrowdVine: For the planners adding SM services, would you specialize? I make events with great buzz or I put on the ultimate learning event #eventprofs
8:31 pm WY20: @TonyAtCrowdVine @ready2spark so maybe a [long-term] consultant is the answer? #eventprofs
8:31 pm ready2spark: @mandiengram Why do you think planners are coming to you? #eventprofs
8:31 pm TonyAtCrowdVine: @Jeffhurt and @MichaelMcCurry I see you guys fine =( #eventprofs
8:31 pm MichaelMcCurry: @Jeffhurt I am giving up too #eventprofs
8:31 pm tempoliveevents: @tempoliveevents I will just "listen". Too many probs tonight w/tweetchat #eventprofs
8:31 pm ready2spark: @Jeffhurt I can see you. #eventprofs
8:32 pm Jeffhurt: @ASProductions Never too long post event engagement if you have speakers, content, entertainment willing to engage #eventprofs
8:32 pm mandiengram: @ready2spark I guess because I manage a lot of social media profiles and they get messages from me through them. Will refer! :) #eventprofs
8:32 pm MsStallings: @psalinger Not sure..Thought: Use Starbucks card/another giveaway 2 get attendee 2 visit booth/session 2 activ8 card? #eventprofs
8:33 pm psalinger: RT @Jeffhurt: @ASProductions Never too long post event engagement if you have speakers, content, entertainment willing to engage #eventprofs
8:33 pm TonyAtCrowdVine: @Jeffhurt How do you get speakers, content, entertainment that is willing post event? My stressed out customers go on vacation. #eventprofs
8:33 pm ready2spark: @MichaelMcCurry @Jeffhurt @tempoliveevents I can see all your tweets thru TweetChat. #eventprofs
8:33 pm PinkDeb: @ASProductions ongoing - what a neat idea that I can come back here anytime if we are chatting or not & learn something! #eventprofs
8:33 pm Jeffhurt: @tempoliveevents I can see you. Many of us having problems with @Tweetchat & @tweetgrid tongith. Main problem with Twitter API. #eventprofs
8:34 pm MsStallings: Can you guys see me? I'm in Tweetchat #eventprofs
8:34 pm PinkDeb: RT @Jeffhurt: @ASProductions Never too long post event engagement if you have speakers, content, entertainment willing to engage #eventprofs
8:34 pm mccurrym: @Jeffhurt Ok Mike McCurry Alt account here now lets try this #eventprofs
8:34 pm Jeffhurt: @TonyAtCrowdVine I build it in contracts for webianrs, blog posts, live in eCommunity, radio shows #eventprofs
8:34 pm tempoliveevents: @ready2spark @jeffhurt. i see me now too! :) yay! #eventprofs
8:34 pm ready2spark: @Jeffhurt I think Twitter is overwhelmed by the brilliance coming from the group ;) #eventprofs
8:35 pm ASProductions: @Jeffhurt Good pt. I actually talked w/ someone abt that concept last wk. Making the 363 days btwn events the most important #eventprofs
8:35 pm mccurrym: @ready2spark That must be it... we causing a circuit to break #eventprofs
8:35 pm csalomonlee: @TonyAtCrowdVine @JeffHurt with virtual, that's easy ;) i think ppl mentioned including in contracts per previous chat, right? #eventprofs
8:35 pm Partyaficionado: only issue i find is the cust. voice strts to snd like me. 2 solve i keep contracts short & create a strategy 4 them to follow. #eventprofs
8:35 pm TonyAtCrowdVine: @Jeffhurt Oh, duh. That makes total sense. Like if you want something to happen you plan for it. #eventprofs
8:35 pm mandiengram: @TonyAtCrowdVine Yes, in a second life. I love my job & I don't mind helping them when I have time, but I'm also happy to refer! #eventprofs
8:35 pm ASProductions: @Jeffhurt b/c it serves as a catalyst to future attendees or a connection point for past attendees. #eventprofs
8:37 pm KatrinaG: @ASProductions nice! #eventprofs
8:37 pm TonyAtCrowdVine: @mandiengram Oh interesting. I could use help understanding why the people who like second life like it. #eventprofs
8:37 pm bucchere: #TED and #SXSW are the best examples of conferences that have year-round engagement communities. We should all do what they do. #eventprofs
8:37 pm spkrinteractive: Sorry I am late. I see people talking about speakers and post-event. What is the topic? #eventprofs
8:38 pm KatrinaG: @mandiengram virtual events rock! and they're as time consuming as real event #eventprofs
8:38 pm PinkDeb: slow slow slow over here! RT @ready2spark: @Jeffhurt I think Twitter is overwhelmed by the brilliance coming from the group ;) #eventprofs
8:38 pm ready2spark: @spkrinteractive We're having an open chat on the topic of Social Media in events. Welcome! #eventprofs
8:39 pm Jeffhurt: @spkrinteractive we were talking about you. :) Just kidding. #eventprofs
8:39 pm MsStallings: Why does Twitter hate me? I feel like the kid who is too short to ride a rollercoaster and has to watch.... :( #eventprofs
8:39 pm GregRuby: Greg from Baltimore. My apologies for arriving late. What is the current topic? #eventprofs
8:40 pm spkrinteractive: Excellent. Well, I second the idea of taking an in-person event and keeping it alive through SM. #eventprofs
8:40 pm MichaelMcCurry: RT @MsStallings: Why does Twitter hate me? I feel like the kid who is too short to ride a rollercoaster and has to watch.... :( #eventprofs
8:40 pm KatrinaG: @MsStallings twitter for a while hated me too- at least tweetgrid. seems API might be having probs tonight? #eventprofs
8:40 pm bucchere: @TonyAtCrowdVine @crowdvine I think @mandiengram is talking about second life in a general sense, not about the virtual world. #eventprofs
8:40 pm ready2spark: @MsStallings I feel like the kid who went up on the ferris wheel that got stuck. #eventprofs
8:40 pm spkrinteractive: If a speaker is right for your audience for 90mins, why not have a wider audience learn from them over a longer time? #eventprofs
8:40 pm mandiengram: @TonyAtCrowdVine Yes, me too! I don't get it, but apparently you can soft launch a hotel there...I don't see the value, though. #eventprofs
8:41 pm bucchere: @MsStallings @MichaelMcCurry #Twitter is an equal opportunity hater. In our platform, we make ALL interaction with it async. #eventprofs
8:41 pm Partyaficionado: I think Second Life will be the next frontier. I've been to 3 ed. conf. where the highest attended sess. were @ secondlife #eventprofs
8:41 pm spkrinteractive: @Jeffhurt Not worried. With you and @ready2spark I know it will be only nice things. :) #eventprofs
8:41 pm Jeffhurt: @MsStallings It's not just you. Many of us having Twitter issues tonight. #eventprofs
8:41 pm ASProductions: RT @spkrinteractive If a speaker is right for your audience for 90mins, why not have audience learn from them over a longer time #eventprofs
8:41 pm TonyAtCrowdVine: @bucchere @mandiengram: Oh, I missed the "a" in "a second life." #eventprofs
8:42 pm psalinger: @MsStallings yes, that might be good, if u can tie back to CRM system and capture leads #eventprofs
8:42 pm mandiengram: @bucchere @TonyAtCrowdVine You are correct. I manage a lot of SM profiles, but "Second Life" is not one I've ventured into... :) #eventprofs
8:42 pm PinkDeb: as much as we are all far away SM can be quite personal. building brand awareness and influence is very real. connectivity #eventprofs
8:43 pm GregRuby: Hmm, I'm not showing up in Tweetchat?!? #eventprofs
8:43 pm MichaelMcCurry: @GregRuby I see you Greg #eventprofs
8:43 pm Partyaficionado: @WY20 That's call SM schizophrenia :-) I love it! #eventprofs
8:43 pm KatrinaG: @GregRuby several of us including @MsStallings and Jeffhurt hving probs:/ #eventprofs
8:43 pm MsStallings: @ready2spark HA! :( More importantly-How do I get back on Twtr's good side? Don't they realize we #eventprofs are kind of a big deal?!
8:43 pm ready2spark: @GregRuby Oh but you are. #eventprofs
8:44 pm Jeffhurt: @GregRuby Many of are delayed or not showing up. It's twitter search or API issues. #eventprofs
8:44 pm csalomonlee: thanks all - interesting chat. @TonyAtCrowdVine would be interested in white paper too. lemme know if that's possible. thx! #eventprofs
8:44 pm Jeffhurt: @PinkDeb I like that. Great point #eventprofs
8:44 pm spkrinteractive: So how fast would you say that SM is changing the world of event professionals on a scale of 1-10? #eventprofs
8:44 pm KatrinaG: @MsStallings i like how you put that! #eventprofs
8:45 pm ready2spark: I've got a riddle for you. What's here, but not really here? #eventprofs on TweetChat. #eventprofs
8:45 pm PinkDeb: connecting with a speaker/colleague before/during/after an event is very great! and the feeling of one on one is there. #eventprofs
8:45 pm Jeffhurt: @MsStallings Seriously, even the largest trade association for our industry ignores us. Oops did I type that outloud. #eventprofs
8:45 pm mandiengram: @bucchere I would have to agree that #SXSW is a great model for ongoing engagement. Never been, but I sure would like to! #eventprofs
8:45 pm MsStallings: @GregRuby I can see you...and your blue caddy...Tweet your little heart out!! Hehe, seriously though-start sharing some wisdom! #eventprofs
8:46 pm Partyaficionado: Ugh, I mentioned Amzon in a tweet and i got spammed. Grrr #eventprofs
8:46 pm spkrinteractive: @PinkDeb are you talking about connecting with a speaker as an attendee in an online manner? #eventprofs
8:46 pm bucchere: @MsStallings I think you need to add this to your wardrobe: http://bit.ly/TTKRx #eventprofs
8:46 pm KatrinaG: What about podcasts and events? #eventprofs
8:46 pm GregRuby: RT @ready2spark: I've got a riddle for you. What's here, but not really here? #eventprofs on TweetChat. #eventprofs
8:46 pm psalinger: @spkrinteractive Id' say it's changing at scale of 10, but event professionals (or many of them) are still at scale of 1-2 #eventprofs
8:47 pm mandiengram: @GregRuby It's okay, we're paying attention. Your absence is the topic. Kidding. #eventprofs
8:47 pm PinkDeb: it seems that those of us that are here "get it" how do you communicate that and get others "in"? #eventprofs
8:47 pm MsStallings: RT @PinkDeb: as much as we r all far away SM is quite personal-bldg brand awareness/influence is vry real. connectivity #eventprofs -gr8 pt!
8:48 pm MelyMello: Hi all. Melissa here from Blackbox. Horribly late...but here :) #eventprofs
8:48 pm ready2spark: @PinkDeb Talk results. #eventprofs
8:48 pm PinkDeb: @spkrinteractive yes through SM before, during, after an event #eventprofs
8:48 pm GregRuby: @mandiengram I was kinda hoping to make a discrete entrance into the chat. Obviously, that didn't happen... #eventprofs
8:49 pm Jeffhurt: @PinkDeb We need to create the Twitter Event mafia and handcuff them to a keyboard & make them tweet until they are addicted. :) #eventprofs
8:49 pm mandiengram: @KatrinaG So I'm interested, what virtual events have you participated in? I've been intrigued and wondered if ppl participate. #eventprofs
8:49 pm TonyAtCrowdVine: @PinkDeb We work with lots of mainstream folks. Key seems to be: talk about mainstream values. #eventprofs
8:49 pm spkrinteractive: @psalinger so who is driving the change if not event professionals? #eventprofs
8:49 pm Jeffhurt: @bucchere That's hilarious. Who's going to buy those for everyone in #eventprofs.
8:49 pm KurtyD: http://bit.ly/JdLLk tons of listings for SM jobs are posted here - and yes, lots of people are adding #eventprofs via @marksylvester
8:50 pm bucchere: @PinkDeb Show utility mixed with social media factors, e.g. a conference schedule builder tool that posts to Twitter and FBC. #eventprofs
8:50 pm MsStallings: @bucchere Ha! Shld say "Wake up Twtrr- Your most active users/biggest advocates in the REAL world r starting 2 get restless." #eventprofs
8:50 pm ready2spark: @PinkDeb I'll try this one more time (not showing up). My answer 2 ur Q: Talk results. #eventprofs
8:50 pm KatrinaG: @mandiengram I didnt participate I was organizer. Was EM for a couple of months for a lit. group in #SecondLife #eventprofs
8:51 pm csalomonlee: @mandiegram @katrinaG ppl do participate in virtual events w/chat, doc downloads, etc. let me know if u have any questions #eventprofs
8:52 pm KatrinaG: @csalomonlee it really is exciting! and hard work #eventprofs
8:52 pm TonyAtCrowdVine: @KatrinaG @csalomonlee Earnest question, why? What does Second Life give that people aren't getting in other forms? #eventprofs
8:52 pm PinkDeb: @bucchere @TonyAtCrowdVine yes - if they are on already - if not - if they see value they will try hopefully #eventprofs
8:52 pm mandiengram: @KatrinaG Cool. Were there a lot of people involved? I've wondered especially a/b the virtual tradeshows & hotel launches on SL #eventprofs
8:52 pm psalinger: @spkrinteractive customers, users, technology people that are early adopters are forcing event ppl to get with it on SM, I think #eventprofs
8:53 pm mandiengram: @GregRuby I think a lot of people are having issues tonight. #twitterfail #eventprofs
8:53 pm spkrinteractive: @psalinger What percentage of customers do you think are forcing? #eventprofs
8:53 pm MelyMello: hmmm....I seem to be a ghost tonight. Perhaps tweetchat is having some issues? #eventprofs
8:53 pm KatrinaG: @mandiengram Yes- although it was specifically for the literature culture in SL so its different #eventprofs
8:53 pm csalomonlee: @tonyatcrowdvine: re: virtual events. most are 2 enable those unable to travel to get content. very convenient, green benefits. #eventprofs
8:54 pm MichaelMcCurry: @mandiengram thats putting it mildly! :) #eventprofs
8:54 pm Jeffhurt: I'm bailing. ths was painfully slow 2nite & it's bn so fast lately. Have a gr8 week all. Chris' buying big deal tshirts 4 all #eventprofs
8:54 pm KatrinaG: @mandiengram did not do general events- and i'm sure tradeshows happen in SL-- MeCo's got #eventprofs
8:54 pm MsStallings: virtual events are best used as supplement to live events, IMO..not as replacement...maybe as optional alternative. #eventprofs
8:54 pm KatrinaG: @Jeffhurt aw Jeff have a good night! #eventprofs
8:55 pm KatrinaG: the biggest conference center built on virtual land- I was more or less "inhouse" so to #eventprofs
8:55 pm KatrinaG: speak #eventprofs
8:55 pm ready2spark: {moderator} Great convo - although most of us can't participate on TweetChat. Just a reminder that chat ends in 5 :) #eventprofs
8:55 pm psalinger: @Jeffhurt I'm w/u Jeff - too fragmentd btwn chat and tweetdeck to have real conversations #eventprofs
8:55 pm bucchere: @Jeffhurt Yours is already in the mail. See you around. Keep stirring the pot like you did with your #MPI shitstorm -- kudos! #eventprofs
8:55 pm MichaelMcCurry: @Jeffhurt Good night Jeff #eventprofs
8:56 pm PinkDeb: I look forward to seeing the power of Twitter and other SM at more and more events/shows - it is a natural progression #eventprofs
8:56 pm mandiengram: @csalomonlee @KatrinaG Is it difficult to convince non-technical people of the value of such events? #eventprofs
8:56 pm WY20: @KatrinaG tradeshows for things in real life or things in SL? #eventprofs
8:56 pm psalinger: @spkrinteractive it varies by audience type. for us as B2B company, mostly our technology folks right now #eventprofs
8:58 pm mandiengram: @MelyMello I see you! #eventprofs
8:58 pm theexpogroup: TweetChat issues are lesson to be learned. Don't let attendees/members feel left out of conversation due to poor design,ops... #eventprofs
8:58 pm TonyAtCrowdVine: @psalinger @spkrinteractive Would you adopt SM if you weren't forced, but just thought it would give you an edge? #eventprofs
8:58 pm KatrinaG: @mandiengram Yes- I've had personal...disagreements with a certain person regarding it #eventprofs
8:58 pm WY20: @PinkDeb me2 - imagine if everything were as interactive as the #140conf #eventprofs
8:58 pm mandiengram: @MsStallings Very well put. :) #eventprofs are #kindofabigdeal
8:59 pm KatrinaG: what was the most elaborate intro of SM into events, w/o venturing -> VR? #eventprofs
8:59 pm spkrinteractive: @TonyAtCrowdVine Of course, but I am biased. I am a technology provider helping speakers to make the shift #eventprofs
8:59 pm bucchere: @WY20 I heard that #140conf was actually held in a bunker with no mobile service and very limited WiFi. #eventprofs
9:00 pm KatrinaG: @WY20 we were talking about SL tradeshows #eventprofs
9:00 pm csalomonlee: @mandiengram @katrinaG no - the economy has driven most need. results are difficult to ignore. + have SM too =) #eventprofs
9:00 pm mandiengram: @KatrinaG I can see that. I've never ventured into that territory, but explaining value of technology in general is a challenge. #eventprofs
9:00 pm psalinger: @TonyAtCrowdVine grt ? and one all companies should ask themselves as they consider event strategies. I'm an advocate though #eventprofs
9:01 pm GregRuby: @theexpogroup Very well put there! #eventprofs
9:01 pm spkrinteractive: @mandiengram Hugely difficult. speakers and meeting planners are very slow to bring SM into their expectations. #eventprofs
9:01 pm MsStallings: Oh Twitter, why don't u love me?! Is it another hashtag...#assnchat?! Is it something I did? #eventprofs & I r just friends! #kindofabigdeal
9:01 pm KatrinaG: @mandiengram VR events are really useful for education and business lectures. I've seen it done very well in SL. #eventprofs
9:02 pm WY20: @bucchere i didnt hear it was THAT bad lol - but i was talking about interacting w/ ppl outside the conference walls as well #eventprofs
9:02 pm spkrinteractive: @MsStallings you are not giving enough #hash>3 :) #eventprofs
9:02 pm eventprofs: Thank u for participating in #eventprofs. The recap is up on the wiki: http://bit.ly/GB3mN & thank u 2 @crowdvine!
9:02 pm ready2spark: Thank u for participating in #eventprofs. The recap is up on the wiki: http://bit.ly/GB3mN & thank u 2 @crowdvine!
9:02 pm KatrinaG: @mandiengram if we're only talking about "cross-over" events. In-world "weddings" etc. are many #eventprofs
