Coming to #AAS16, or just following along on social media? Chat with #SPSM, at a special time, 7pCT, about new developments in conference social media, including the use of live streaming tools like Periscope. We’ll chat about using “secondary hashtags,” live streaming tools, and do a refresh on good conference social media skills. We will discuss how we use curation tools, like www.storify.com, to capture and share content.

Why do we use social media “give away” conference content? We’ll be chatting about that, too. Conference social media is a valuable tool for growing “in real life” conference attendance, spreading awareness that your presenters are experts in your field, building engagement in your professional community all year long, and more effectively serving your organization’s mission. Since most (ALL) of us in #suicide #prevention have the mission of saving lives, we want to use every tool we can to share information that can help. Social media is an effective way to do that.

Follow the #AAS16 hashtag to get the conference social media stream, and watch #SPSM LIVE here, Sunday 3/27/16, 7pCT:
