Tweeting Live - Continuing EIBTM Education


Last year I was delighted to deliver a presentation for EIBTM which was called the Pain & Pleasure of Hybrid Events and in that I used the experimental hybrid, Event Camp Europe which had taken place in September, as a case study.

I thought that my presentation had finished but this was not to be the case as earlier this year I was informed that the video was to be used in the Education week of EIBTM in April.

So now I have been asked to become involved in a live Twitter chat on 19th April 2012 and discuss further some of the points that I made back in Barcelona in December 2011.

Personally I think the whole idea of the EIBTM EducationWeek is a great one. With so many educational sessions on offer at the show  in December many event professionals probably missed out on a few due to timetable/show appointment clashes so having an Education week enables people to have the opportunity to catch up on those sessions that they couldn’t attend.  

Involving the speakers and putting the live chat on twitter is a great way of keeping the conversations and learning going.  

Last year there were around 60 educational sessions that took place in the Conference Centre area, plus there were the Future Events Experience and Sustainability sessions on the show floor, so it’s quite an educational offering that works with around 100 speakers and draws in approximately 4,000 people.

Join us on the live twitter chat between 14.00 – 15.00 GMT and participate using #EIBTM and then ask your question. It’s simple. See you there on the chat.
