Keep professionalism and confidentiality in mind (as well as general good manners) and don't be afraid to get involved in the chat - everyone is welcome! #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
If you're new to the chat (hopefully there'll be some new faces from the conference!), there's going to be a series of questions for discussion throughout the hour - use the #OTalk hashtag in your replies so that we can collect everyone's tweets together at the end :)
#OTalk @OTalk_
@Amie_OT Same here! (this is @colourful_ot , representing the people who didn't make it to the conference this year 😅) #OTalk

I'll jump straight into our first question since it links in nicely with everyone introducing themselves: Q1 How did you engage in #RCOT2019 this year? (presenting, attending, following on Twitter, other social media, none of the above?) #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@OTalk_ Attending! #otalk

@cathymc9781 Remember to write #OTalk at the end of your Tweets - otherwise I'll be able to find them in my notifications but they won't show up when people search the hashtag to follow the conversation 🙂

Q2 What was the highlight of the conference for you? #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@OTalk_ Hmmm... that is a toughie. #otalk dinner was a great lead off... even though it was unofficial event.

#OTalk @OTalk_
Q3 is well-timed since it's something people are already talking about - did you meet anyone at the conference who you knew from Twitter? How did it go? #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@Vicky3L @OTalk_ 2 days is not enough... I wish it was 3 like before. 😭 #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@OTalk_ I had more social attention than previous years. It’s crazy that many of you know/still remember who I am. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@MissK_rebecca @OTalk_ It’s good practice when you ever go to an American conference. This problem can also happen! #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@cathymc9781 @Amie_OT @OTalk_ Well- I remembered back in 2012 or 2013... seeing those tweets made me thinking about coming to one of these. Now, I have been to 3. Pictures are worth more than 1000 words. #otalk
deb_OT @dmay_ot
I think one of the things I love about conference or possibly about OTs is how grounded everyone is. People are passionate about occupation but even as an almost qualified OT I've never been made to feel any less than valued even by really experienced and renowned OTs. #OTalk

#OTalk @OTalk_
Leading on from Q4, here's Q5: did you come across anyone at the conference who you'd like to see hosting an #OTalk chat? (bonus points if you include their Twitter handle so that we can get in contact with them... ;) )
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@LAURA59455619 @OT_KateT @OTalk_ Over time this will get easier/harder... depending on the person. Socially is easier with familiar faces... but it is way harder because new people always want to find me. #otalk
Dr Lynne Goodacre 💙 @LynneGoodacre
Just got in from a meeting but wanted to share this question #OTalk sorry for just diving in prob. off topic a bit
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@IsobelWhelan @OTalk_ @CupOTservices This next time is TBD because I don’t know my international schedule every year. Outside of major association OT leadership folks, I am probably one of the most busy traveling wise. #otalk

@LAURA59455619 @OT_KateT @OTalk_ I think one year I should have an automatic spot speaking. I want you guys to see my true expertise and passion. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@LAURA59455619 @OT_KateT @OTalk_ I think if RCOT will put me on presentation schedule... maybe that session will be filled quickly. 😂 #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@LAURA59455619 @OT_KateT @OTalk_ My Twitter game overshadowed what I am truly here for always for these things. #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
The hour has flown by as always! Final question: what was your take-home message from #RCOT2019? (or, if you attended via Twitter, your... learning-at-home message, I suppose? 😂) #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@OT_KateT @LAURA59455619 @OTalk_ I think there needs to be an autism topic with my name reserved on the schedule. Too bad I don’t qualify for service user category. 😛 #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@LAURA59455619 @OT_KateT @OTalk_ Well- RCOT is only international conference that I am 0 for in presenting. So, I will like to change that record. Twitter sensation is getting old on me... lol! #otalk

@MissK_rebecca @CupOTservices @MaryBirken @POPPED_Project Wonderful, thanks Kayleigh! 😁 #OTalk

@OTalk_ Remarkable similarities on the final plenary and the signature talk from TEDxAlmansorPark. Now I will be awaiting for attendees giving me critical review on how #ValueofOT is portrayed in that population. #otalk

@LAURA59455619 @OTalk_ Well- anybody dare to be the next OT to serve as a TEDx event curator? I am done and somebody can take the baton and run it in his/her community? Nobody else in this space so far. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@OT_KateT @LAURA59455619 @OTalk_ I think next time there should be a “give @BillWongOT a time slot at RCOT to share his passions” campaign... lol! #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@LAURA59455619 @OTalk_ This is a really daunting task. I think next time it will bring a local OT community together... especially upon knowing the challenges I faced. #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Thank you everyone for all your contributions to tonight's chat - this is @colourful_ot signing off for the night but feel free to keep chatting! #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
We upload transcripts of all of our chats so that if you missed the conversation tonight, you can read through it in your own time when you get a chance - keep an eye on our Twitter account and we'll Tweet later this week when the transcript is available 😁 #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@LAURA59455619 @OTalk_ I do say that even though the task is daunting... but upon hearing so many ace ideas... maybe some of you will be motivated, “this needs to get out to public ASAP. I will take a plunge and follow Bill’s footsteps!” #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@OT_KateT @LAURA59455619 @OTalk_ OR... maybe uni’s can pool together funds for me to do a workshop tour for me to speak about #autism. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@S_Harvey2 @LAURA59455619 @OTalk_ I am talking about a different thing. I am actually talking about creative avenues to share #ValueofOT. TEDx curation is an area that nobody in OT had done before me. Now that it is understood, maybe that will inspire more attempts. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@OT_KateT @S_Harvey2 @LAURA59455619 @OTalk_ I have made an update to the YouTube playlist a couple weeks ago. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@OT_KateT @S_Harvey2 @LAURA59455619 @OTalk_ It is a monumental task. Unfortunately... what I have done is only a small step relatively in that space. We need somebody to take it to the next level- multiple events in a year + ability to host 100+ attendees. #otalk

@OT_KateT @S_Harvey2 @LAURA59455619 @OTalk_ I know many people were 😮 when I said what I did was a small step. I think my experiences will make OT rethink what big impact is! #otalk
