Putting On the Tampa TweetUp
As co-host of the Tampa TweetUp and an evangelist for getting the word out about local awesomeness, I like to plan our gatherings at cool, unique, unexpected places.
For March, my co-host Tampa Bloggers’ Founder Josh Carrico and I partnered with Walker Brands. Space limitations required us to limit RSVPs to 60 people and we had a waiting list within 48 hours. The night of the event saw several “Tweet Crashers.”
With the help of Nancy Walker, we cooked up some new ideas for March including optional Think Tank Sessions on “Building your Brand with Tweets,” “Tweeting into the Future,” and “Early adopters: What Technologies are You Using?”
We staged a video tweet booth (like a confessional) – were we asked our local tweeps to share why they were at the TweetUp, how Twitter has changed their life and how they explain.
As always, we had streaming live tweets tagged #tbtweet projecting throughout the night
WHY:
Twitter has emerged as a forum for people to connect virtually and develop relationships. It’s a universal equalizer giving people the ability to connect with others they would otherwise not be able to. The TweetUp is an opportunity for great minds to come together and experience emerging communications. Tweeple can now bring the conversation offline, meet the people they’ve been following and communicate in an entirely new way.
