This year, the Association Media & Publishing Conference has added a wide array of real-time online tools to allow participants to share what they are learning and experiencing. For those who attend, it means additional ways to develop community and engage in conversations. And for those who are not attending, it will provide a means to join in at home, get a peak at what you're missing, and to make plans to attend next year's conference.Here are some of the ways it works:
live.SNAP09.com: This is the place you should bookmark your browser to pick up the feed of all news, "tweets," blog posts, photos, videos and bookmarks that will be generated at the conference.
SNAP09.com: The pre-conference community will has lots of information about the conference, the attendees and presenters, and discussion groups dedicated to each session.
How to share what you're seeing and experiencing -- real time: If you're attending the conference, please join in.
Twitter: Follow @snap_09, and whenever you tweet about the conference, use the hashtag #snap09 and your tweet will appear on the front of live.SNAP09.com.
Photos: If your phone has a camera, e-mail you photos to snapassn@gmail.com, we can highlight your photos on our Flickr page and on the live conference website. If you have your own Flickr account, upload them there and join the Association Media & Publishing group. Upload your photos to that group and you'll see them appear here. More photos can be found at the SNAP09 Flickr account.
Video: The conference has a YouTube channel and we'd love to feature your video on live.SNAP09.com. Just upload it to your favorite video service (that allows embedding of video on other sites) and let us know where to look. We'll take care of mirroring your video on live.SNAP09.com.
Comments: As you can see, any of these items on live.SNAP09.com can be commented upon. We want you to join in the conversation any way possible.
The conversation continues -- and we hope it will long after the conference as well.
Can I go ahead and suggest people view and use this site in Firefox? Or anything else besides Internet Explorer? It just renders so much better. :)
Gee, Megan. I think you just did. But I think people who use Internet Explorer have that happen to them on every site.
