Conferences!

I have a ton of great stories about meetings, conferences, and other gatherings of people - and I'll share one soon, but know this - if you can get just three or four people using Social Media at your conference, you've just exponentially raised the number of people who are aware of your message. There may be 50 people in a seminar, but if just a few people are posting messages about that meeting on Twitter or Facebook - then you could be reaching thousands of people.

OK, here's the example - it's August, 2009 and The Biotechnology Industry Organization (BIO), National Venture Capital Association, Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America, U.S. Chamber of Commerce, Delaware BioScience Association, Delaware State Chamber of Commerce and Delaware HIV Consortium organized the Delaware BioScience Business Roundtable (Notice how I just plugged all of those organizations).

This was a great event, and some of us were posting real-time updates from every presentation made - I still get comments from people who were NOT there, but who say they followed the entire conference through the Social Media feed that was happening there.
