Social Media Tips
- Start your promotion as soon as your participation is confirmed. This will help build interest early, leading to greater exposure for you by the time of the event.
- Include the official hashtag—#ELI2021—in your posts to be part of the conversation.
- Post to all of your organization's channels one hour before the event begins each day to create excitement.
- Provide your Twitter handle and other social media channels in your presentation materials, so attendees can connect with you after the event. Check your channels periodically to help answer questions and participate in discussions.
- Go multimedia. Use content marketing, pictures, and video, especially during the event. The more interesting you can make your posts—both content-wise and visually—the more effective your posts will be.
