Ok, it's my first time here but I'm going to go out on a limb and say people will be using it ;-) #eventprofs |

Okay - so let's get started I have 9:12 on my PC clock. Welcome @BrittaniMEvents #eventprofs |
| 8:12 pm |
DQtweets: |
Predictions for Social Media in 2010. I recently attended #expoexpo and this was a big topic #eventprofs |
| 8:12 pm |
BrittaniMEvents: |
@MsStallings @DQtweets thank you! #eventprofs |
| 8:15 pm |
MsStallings: |
@DQtweets I agree re #expoexpo -just left wishing more people were tweeting. challenge is w/ show mgmt getting attendees engaged #eventprofs |
| 8:15 pm |
camerontoth: |
I think we will continue to see one Social Media seminar after another and the challenge will be to find the value. #eventprofs |
| 8:16 pm |
PinkDeb: |
@DQtweets what was said at IAEE? were people using SM there? we are headed to TSE next week will be interesting to see if used #eventprofs |
| 8:16 pm |
tracibrowne: |
forgot the hash...was there any talk there about strategy or was it mostly tools/tactics? #eventprofs |
| 8:16 pm |
MsStallings: |
@camerontoth Personally, I use FB 4 persnl things (pics, keeping up w/ HS friends). Don't like to follow events-cld b just me #eventprofs |
| 8:16 pm |
DQtweets: |
W/client budgets still being cut, I predict more tweetup/google wave type events 2play a big part technology driven industries. #eventprofs |
| 8:16 pm |
BrittaniMEvents: |
SM will continue to move at a fast pace with Facebook and Twitter thriving as the headliners. #eventprofs |
| 8:17 pm |
MsStallings: |
@tracibrowne unfortunately, I felt as though it was mostly tools/tactics..very beginner level #eventprofs |
| 8:18 pm |
DQtweets: |
@PinkDeb I attended IAEE in Miami last yr &ppl were looking at me odd when I asked if they tweeted. This year was huge for SM. #eventprofs |
| 8:18 pm |
DQtweets: |
@camerontoth What's your take on the value for 2010 in SM? #eventprofs |
| 8:19 pm |
DQtweets: |
As an event professional I can not ignore SM. Which still many of my peers in the association world are. #eventprofs |
| 8:19 pm |

hello all.. sorry I am late, I am Mike McCurry w. Experient in Chicago #eventprofs |
| 8:20 pm |
DQtweets: |
I'm wasn't sold on Facebook for event professionals in 2009 and still not for 2010. #eventprofs |
| 8:20 pm |
MsStallings: |
@DQtweets Amen. This is a huge hurdle. . . Hi, Mike! #eventprofs |
| 8:20 pm |
tracibrowne: |
I think it varies widely from audience to audience I do mostly B2B events and most the folks there think twitter is for kids #eventprofs |
| 8:20 pm |
MichaelMcCurry: |
so what is the topic? #eventprofs |
| 8:20 pm |
carrieferenac: |
#eventprofs Sorry I'm late... trying to catch up :-) |
| 8:20 pm |
PinkDeb: |
yes you can't ignore it but there are still a lot of naysayers and not doers #eventprofs |
| 8:21 pm |
BrittaniMEvents: |
@DQtweets not even a fan page? #eventprofs |
| 8:21 pm |
DQtweets: |
Anyone predicting flickr or google wave to take a bigger leap in the event industry for 2010? #eventprofs |
| 8:21 pm |
camerontoth: |
@MsStallings - No that is common but a business fan page is important if you are looking to engage online with customers. #eventprofs |
| 8:21 pm |
DQtweets: |
Michael we're discussing predictions for social media in 2010 #eventprofs |
| 8:21 pm |
MsStallings: |
@PinkDeb I think at IAEE, those who were clueless (at first) felt a sense of urgency to figure it out #eventprofs |
| 8:22 pm |
ericlukazewski: |
Hey #eventprofs gang. I appologize that I won't be a part of the chat tonight. I look forward to reading the dialogue later! |
| 8:22 pm |
MichaelMcCurry: |
@DQtweets well the jury is out on Google wave becuz there are a lot of challenges with it right now #eventprofs |
| 8:22 pm |
DQtweets: |
@BrittaniMEvents Not really. If you're updating FB w/the same content on Twttr, what's the point? #eventprofs |
| 8:22 pm |
camerontoth: |
@DQtweets - Social Media is very valuable. It is the advertising, customer interaction tool to use moving forward. #eventprofs |
| 8:23 pm |
kionsanders: |
RT @BrittaniMEvents: SM will continue to move at a fast pace with Facebook and Twitter thriving as the headliners. #eventprofs |
| 8:23 pm |
camerontoth: |
@DQtweets - TV, Radio and Print are quickly becoming outdated with so many ways to find information and entertainment online. #eventprofs |
| 8:23 pm |
DQtweets: |
@MichaelMcCurry But can we predict that by Q3 or Q4 google wave will be more accessible and ready for event professionals? #eventprofs |
| 8:24 pm |
MsStallings: |
@DQtweets I think Flicker is good for events, I just don't find it that interesting overall though..its not that interactive IMO #eventprofs |
| 8:24 pm |
DQtweets: |
Well, let's talk about blogs. Will updating twttr to drive folks to FB eliminate the need for a blog? #eventprofs |
| 8:24 pm |
MichaelMcCurry: |
@DQtweets Great question... I sincerely hope so, cuz I believe this app has significant potential #eventprofs |
| 8:25 pm |
camerontoth: |
@DQtweets - 65 Million online on Facebook everyday. Average user spends more than four hours online every day. #eventprofs |
| 8:25 pm |
BrittaniMEvents: |
@DQTweets I agree but having both reaches a bigger and more diverse aud. People are still choosing to stay away from twitter. #eventprofs |
| 8:25 pm |
DQtweets: |
@MsStallings at #expoexpo some1 on panel mentioned allowing attendees 2upload 2 offical flickr page - what's your take on that? #eventprofs |
| 8:25 pm |
PinkDeb: |
i have not gotten to try google wave yet though i want to so many things to do and learn #eventprofs |
| 8:26 pm |
DQtweets: |
Ok - what other SM predictions do you all have for 2010? #eventprofs |
| 8:26 pm |
MsStallings: |
@DQtweets why? with FB you can be conformed to a template. I find following a blog much more valuable than FB page #eventprofs |
| 8:26 pm |
MichaelMcCurry: |
@DQtweets no blogs are extremely relevant because they dig deeper into content and the reasons for it #eventprofs |
| 8:26 pm |
tracibrowne: |
I can see Google Wave actually being something if everyone has access to it #eventprofs |
| 8:26 pm |
carrieferenac: |
#eventprofs Do you think there's a problem with combining all personal stuff on FB with professional clients? |
| 8:27 pm |
DQtweets: |
@BrittaniMEvents Do you have a prediction of twitter taking a bigger leap in 2010? Also do u set up FB pages for ur clients? #eventprofs |
| 8:27 pm |
camerontoth: |
@DQtweets - I am worried about Wave. I haven't heard anything new about a general release and it is still not "email +" #eventprofs |
| 8:27 pm |
MsStallings: |
@DQtweets risky business--depending on type of event. (in my case, med mtg) if it was something less conservative, cld b fine #eventprofs |
| 8:27 pm |
DQtweets: |
Yes! RT @carrieferenac: Do you think theres a problem with combining all personal stuff on FB with professional clients? #eventprofs |

@tracibrowne Traci I agree but they need to resolve their bandwidth issues #eventprofs |
| 8:27 pm |
tracibrowne: |
@carrieferenac Yes! #eventprofs |
| 8:27 pm |
carrieferenac: |
I predict video having more of a presence with SM in 2010. #eventprofs thoughts? |
| 8:28 pm |
DQtweets: |
@camerontoth Yes, google does have their work cut for them. Wave needs a lot of work for event ready professionals #eventprofs |
| 8:28 pm |
BrittaniMEvents: |
@carrieferenac Yes it is! #eventprofs |
| 8:28 pm |
joemull: |
@PinkDeb for a fun way to learn how to use google wave, you could set up an #eventprofs wave and invite others. |
| 8:28 pm |
DQtweets: |
@carrieferenac Like Skype? #eventprofs |
| 8:28 pm |
carrieferenac: |
@DQtweets Me too! I use FB for personal (old hs pals, etc.) and twitter for professional. #eventprofs |

@DQtweets - Facebook is a tricky animal but the business value is there because that is where the money/people are at. #eventprofs |
| 8:29 pm |
PinkDeb: |
bandwith is a big deal RT @MichaelMcCurry: @tracibrowne Traci I agree but they need to resolve their bandwidth issues #eventprofs |
| 8:29 pm |
DQtweets: |
@camerontoth Really? You think? Hmm... #eventprofs |
| 8:29 pm |
carrieferenac: |
I was thinking more like links to video, video messages, video blogs, etc. #eventprofs |
| 8:29 pm |
BrittaniMEvents: |
@DQTweets twitter will take off. I personally use it to network with event pros. I seldomly follow friends. I use FB for that. #eventprofs |
| 8:29 pm |
camerontoth: |
@MsStallings - I agree. I have gone back to Flickr but that has been my impression. Trust Agents and Socialnomics ref Flickr #eventprofs |
| 8:30 pm |
tracibrowne: |
good point on Skype @DQtweets there's been some interesting tweets from CES about skype #eventprofs |

#eventprofs I find Linked In to be great for connecting, but it's not as interactive as Twitter. |

While I haven't had a client willing to go there, I think conference mobile apps are cool. #eventprofs |

what does everyone else think of those virtual expos? I think they have potential but right now they are really lacking #eventprofs |
| 8:46 pm |

Be careful doing coaching sessions where u want many ppl to sign up 4 twitter accts. They limit the # of accounts per IP add. #eventprofs |

@tracibrowne - Blogs seem to be the new website - Anyone notice that? 2010 is all about interaction! #eventprofs |
| 8:47 pm |
DQtweets: |
@alexjusino I've only found two companies that do it well - but both are very expensive and your attendees must be tech savvy #eventprofs |
| 8:47 pm |
Partyaficionado: |
Best practice is to ask people to set up their account prior to attending ur session #eventprofs |
| 8:47 pm |

#eventprofs I believe virtual tradeshows may enhance the real thing, but never replace. |
| 8:47 pm |

Ahh, virtual tradeshows. Wonk, wonk. #eventprofs |

#eventprofs Any try XNIP? New tech that gives everyone a number. You text it, and it keeps all info. Cool, but I prefer biz cards! |

I do like the idea of setting up a YouTube channel for your event/client. Then you can upload videos before and after the event #eventprofs |

I would like to see more use of RFID in badges for better stats #eventprofs |

With QR coding attendees can gather info via their smartphones with a basic photo of the badge. Pretty cool technology. #eventprofs |

Essentially with QR coding you eliminate the need for lead retrieval systems. #eventprofs |

@tracibrowne - I am not a fan of 2nd life. It is too much work for too little ROI at this point in my opinion. #eventprofs |

@tracibrowne QR coding? Not sure on the exhibitor end. My experience it's been great for small (150ppl or less) events. #eventprofs |

IML is not social media but it is Social. Allows everyone to have a MIC at a session and allows for electronic instant survey #eventprofs |
