[REDACTED USER] You got to tell me about places to see when I come over for #rcot2019. #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Welcome to tonight’s #Otalk discussing how to make the most out of tweeting at conferences. Say Hi, if you’re online? It’s [REDACTED USER] on the account tonight, DM me the @OTalk_ account if you need anything. We will get going in 5 mins or so
Chris Wood @cmwood85_OT
#OTalk first timer. Pleased to finally join the chat
#OTalk @OTalk_
@cmwood85_OT Welcome! Let me know if you need anything #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Just a quick reminder ahead of tonight’s #otalk to be respectful of others, encourage and support as needed and always follow your code of ethics and professional conduct.
#OTalk @OTalk_
Right, let’s get going! Q1) Do you Tweet at events and why? If not, why not? #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@OTalk_ I do- because I believe sharing what I have experienced has value. (Plus, that was how I got attracted to come to RCOT in 2015 with all the wonderful pics and tweets about what were shared) #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@OTalk_ And with me being an online influencer- can sure have great potential to share #valueofot. #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
@SClarkeOT [REDACTED USER] Oh exciting! Do come see us on stand J66 and let me know if you need anything tonight #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
[REDACTED USER] Interesting, do you ever wish you'd waited til the end of the presentation? Can live tweeting evolving thoughts be a challenge? #otalk
Nix 🤓 @thisisnix
@OTalk_ Q1. I like to tweet at events, often w/a photo too. Can be a nice way to keep a log of interesting things you learn/see/share or experience, so you can look back over in your own tweet timeline later. Bit like an #OTalk thread!🧵 Hello 👋 btw.
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@OTalk_ [REDACTED USER] I think this depends on how willing attendees are willing to tweet at these presentations. If they are not too enthusiastic, it is hard to generate outside discussions. #otalk
Hiral Khatri @DrHiralKhatri
Hello #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
@DrMiriamOT [REDACTED USER] Did you find tweeting from another person's account was different from your own? I always feel like I have my big girl pants on when on the #otalk account! (Should clarify it's [REDACTED USER] )
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ I think if you have a printed PowerPoint, that will help you follow along... which then help with live tweeting. #otalk
Hiral Khatri @DrHiralKhatri
@OTalk_ Yes I do. To showcase the greatness of the event, of course to showoff (!) myself being there at the event (haha of course that is a human nature) and to spread a word about whats going on. #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Good advice. I often get a lot from Twitter when I can't attend #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ Yes- conferences are costly to attend! And that is even more so if one has to travel long ways to get there. #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Good tip. I like to look back at my feed to reflect. #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_

Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] Even for me, summarizing tweets as the presentation is going on is difficult art to master. #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Try to remember th #otalk in all tweets
#OTalk @OTalk_
Q2) What are the positives? Whats your preferred way to share at events? What have you found most useful? #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ I definitely use hashtags to network. There is a lot of value- especially since I plan to come to these conferences in person sometimes for future. #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
It can be confusing at times, definitely needs some practice. We all start somewhere #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@GillianMMXVII [REDACTED USER] Hahahaha! I do agree to good o’ quality > quantity. Just hard to do it in the moment a lot of times. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@OTalk_ Networking... as mentioned earlier. My preferred way is to share obscure facts that the general public might not know about. #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
#otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Any difference between the two platforms? #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ [REDACTED USER] I know I feel rude sometimes tweeting at TEDx events. But at OT events... seems like it is more socially acceptable now. #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Q3) Are there any negatives? Perhaps you feel live tweeting detracts from the event? How do we overcome the barriers? #OTalk
grainne carley @gra_carley
I think that because a lot if people can't attend events in person twitter is a great way to catch conversations and further discuss #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] Yeah- that’s why I phased out LinkedIn in recent years. #otalk
Nix 🤓 @thisisnix
@OTalk_ I think most events that have an official #hashtag to tweet/follow really helps - not only for those tweeting in attendance but importantly also those who can’t be there in person but can still feel a part of the event. #Otalk (Q2)
#OTalk @OTalk_
#otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Interesting, I wonder would that interrupt the flow of the presentation? #otalk

#OTalk @OTalk_
Just a reminder to put the #otalk in every tweet so we can all see them and they get collected in the transcript. I’m keeping my eye out for stray ones!
#OTalk @OTalk_
Yes. This can be a downside. #otalk
Nix 🤓 @thisisnix
@OTalk_ Q2.cont: E.g: if you think of all the OTs who can’t physically make it to [REDACTED USER] & [REDACTED USER] conferences, but ALSO @thewfot @AOTAInc & [REDACTED USER] etc conferences = huge benefit, the entire OT world 🌎 becomes connected during ANY #OT week or event now 💚🥰 ..SO awesome! #OTalk

Q4) What are your “top tips”? Ours is don’t forget the hash tag! #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Me too. Photos of posters, slides, screenshots of notes #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@OTalk_ Be creative with live tweeting. Sometimes it is Ok to show the OT Twitter world any existing resources that the speakers share in their presentations. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@OTalk_ Also, it is occasionally OK to add in commentary on the presentations that you like or means a lot to you. #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
This is true. Although these days I’m more confident about “what I shout in Starbucks” #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ [REDACTED USER] Actually I am an event curator- so technically I hold a key to what OT topics to be featured. However, with this power comes a lot of responsibilities. I actually think more occupational therapy practitioners should get into curating. #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
It can. I also think tweeting skill level is progressive and we learn what we are comfortable with. I like photos, or doodles #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ I do that all the time... especially autism ones! You know I am a pretty harsh critic on those. #otalk
Hiral Khatri @DrHiralKhatri
@OTalk_ Don’t forget the hashtag and try to follow “top” social media people & Organiztion Twitter handles in the field. #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Yes!! Have an opinion, you should, your professionals, don’t just paraphrase etc add to the debate, it will enhance your experience #otalk
grainne carley @gra_carley
Top tip is to link the person or organisation who may be being a thought, project or presentation and thereby form (&allow others form) connections while crediting them #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
And another tip- social media influencing stats are overrated! It’s nice to know that I have multi million impressions at every conference I attended. But, it doesn’t mean a thing to me. #otalk

Q5) Is there anything else that would encourage you to share more, to engage or to share differently? #otalk

@SClarkeOT @OTalk_ That is definitely common- and I know I do that too! #otalk

@OTalk_ Enjoy tweeting too, it can be fun. And quite empowering / exciting when one of the bigwigs likes or retweets you #Otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
And if you are speaking, it is good to include your Twitter handle in the beginning! #OTalk

Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@cmwood85_OT @OTalk_ I technically qualify in this category. 🤓 #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@OTalk_ For any presentation, I think 3 tweets is the minimum so that outsiders can get the gist of what the presentation is about. #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
I like this idea. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@OTalk_ Conference hashtag is a powerful place to do organic networking. Occasionally keeping up with the tweets outside of conference is also important. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ I often would tweet hours later when you guys are at conference and I am not attending due to time differences. 😛 #otalk

Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ Yes- especially if the speakers referenced an awesome journal article for their presentations. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ [REDACTED USER] And to be honest- I submitted an abstract on how to be a TEDx event licensee at #rcot2019. #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Good tip.#otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@GillianMMXVII [REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ I bring 3 hardcore ones when I come to see you guys. Sometimes I find charging these take more time in UK than in the US with me. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@OTBrianNY @SClarkeOT @OTalk_ And also multiple charging cables. Have broke one a few times during conferences! #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Final 5 minutes. Just to say the #otalk team will be at the [REDACTED USER] this week, stand J66. Come say hi, meet members of the community, take a photo in our photo booth or have a free headshot taken by our very own photographer for use on your Twitter account.
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ I love the tweet ribbons at AOTA conferences. Spotting those can also help with networking! #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] @DrMiriamOT @OTalk_ @SClarkeOT I am way on the other side... lol! I know I am not the most established OT out there. But, my connectivity has helped me in my career in ways that I never imagined 10 years ago. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ [REDACTED USER] It is always on my wish list... but hard for me to make 2 trips across the pond in the same year. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ [REDACTED USER] I have seen some bring theirs at AOTA conference, though. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ [REDACTED USER] My schedule is always tight! That is my problem... lol! #otalk
