How People Are Using Twitter During Conferences

Posted by Celia Walter | 28 May, 2009

The Wired Campus points to a new study titled How People Are Using Twitter During Conferences presented at this year’s EduMedia Conference in Salzburg, Austria. The paper surveys academics at five recent conferences to determine the usefulness of Twitter as a communication “back channel” at these events.

“Microblogging at conferences seems to be an additional way of discussing presented topics and exchanging additional information. It is not limited to the face-to-face audience or the location of the conference. Microblogging rather allows virtually anyone to actively participate in the thematic debates. Our research shows that several conference speakers and attendees are using Twitter for various purposes. Communicating and sharing resources seem to be one of the most interesting and relevant ways in which one microblogs.”

From Celia:

Net Prophet 2009, a conference held recently in Cape Town - Over 400 delegates, 1400 odd Tweets and 9 killer presentations.

 

People from all walks of business came from near and far to hear the wisdom of our local Net Prophets - some even making the journey from as far as Joburg and Durban just to be part of the event! Those who attended were treated to a series of world-class presentations, unearthing a wealth of knowledge, insight and vision of what the future webscape looks like in the South African context.

The astonishing turnout, passion and general buzz before and after the event is certainly evidence of that the ‘Silicon Cape’ is indeed alive and well.

Special thanks to our sponsors, Innovation Fund, RSAWEB and White Wall Web for making this event possible.
