Eye on Annual

Have you considered using social media at the conference? Social media tools connect people and ideas, and are a fantastic way to learn more about what''s happening at NA11. Below are 10 good reasons why you should be using social media at the conference.

1. Hear from people who you might not otherwise talk to.

2. Start discussions about sessions prior to attending them.

3. Connect with other public health professionals and extend your professional network.

4. Promote public health in an online forum.

5. Stay on top of meeting logistics (room change, food locations, etc.).

6. Provide useful information to those who aren’t attending.

7. Learn about sessions that you haven’t attended.

8. Share thoughts (in real-time) and hear what others think in response.

9. Tweet from your mobile phone because it’s easy (instructions are available at the Social Media Desk).

10. Create discussions (about sessions and topics) that will last long after the conference.

Don’t forget that social media is also free and fun. Visit NACCHO’s Social Media Desk in the Exhibit Hall to learn more about how you can use social media at your organization.
