Believe it or not, IBEX will be here in 4 months! It doesn’t matter if you are planning to attend as an exhibitor or a visitor, using Twitter now to promote your participation in IBEX will get the marine industry talking.
Here are a few tips for using Twitter prior to IBEX.
- Follow us @IBEXShow and retweet our posts. We will do the same for you.
- Start using our hashtag #IBEX15.
- We want to hear now that you are making plans to attend. Let us know what you are hoping to see at the event. This could include referencing products, exhibitors, keynote speakers, or ‘hot’ topics that are on the conference agenda – all the while using the event hashtag.
- Don’t miss the opportunity to retweet too; if you see something valuable or interesting that someone has tweeted, why not retweet it, and also follow them if they’re not already on your list.
- From exhibitors we want to hear your news. What will you be showcasing. Twitter is about conversations, constructively contributing to them, and sharing knowledge and ideas. Let’s put this information out there.
- Start following each other. Following other event attendees provides a way to see what people are talking about. Plan to get together- meet up at the event.
- Exhibitors don’t forget to publicize your booth number. Invite people via Twitter and offer something special that nobody else will get unless they are retweeting your tweets.
Make some digital relationships by getting social with IBEX.
