Social media provides a real-time outlet for customers to interact with your company, and trade shows or conferences are great times to utilize social media to enhance your presence at these events.
In addition to allowing attendees to interact with your brand online, social media event promotion encourages interaction among event attendees and extends your message far beyond those who actually attend your event. This means your marketing messages will have a greater impact than just to event attendees alone.
Here are 5 social media platforms with key ways to use them to boost your next event.
1. Twitter
Twitter¡¯s strength is the real-time nature of the platform. Create an event hashtag for attendees to use (and let them know what it is by promoting it heavily in your conference marketing materials). This way, it is easier to track conversations that may be taking place. These tweets also provide you with great content for your corporate Twitter account.

2. Foursquare
Foursquare¡¯s location-based technology offers companies an opportunity to further interact with those who are at the same trade show or conference. Creating a check-in spot at your booth can spread the word about your presence, as each check-in will be shown to that person¡¯s network. Also, Foursquare recently introduced a new update that allows business owners to post updates that are shown to users who are connected to the company on Foursquare. This can be utilized at events to update booth visitors on your company¡¯s activities at the trade show or any special promotions you might be having.??? ????? ? ? ??
3. Instagram
Instagram¡¯s visually engaging platform and integration with other social media networks make it an ideal place for companies to share trade show/conference photos. Encourage attendees to use the same hashtag they use for Twitter when they upload photos to Instagram. That way you can utilize them as content for other marketing materials. Consider these examples of creating a ¡°Top 10 Instagram Photo¡± blog post or a gallery of the best Instagram photos that are posted using the hashtag.

4. SlideShare
SlideShare offers brands the ability to upload presentations or other documents. It is a great platform to share keynote or breakout session presentations after the conference is over. You may consider offering tidbits of the presentations to the public while keeping the full presentations exclusively for attendees. Read our blog post for more tips on using SlideShare for B2B marketing.

5. YouTube
Much like SlideShare, YouTube can be a great place to share presentations that occurred during the event, except in video form. Besides the presentations, consider creating videos of other things that occur during the event such as awards presentations or fun outings. Showcasing these other aspects of the event besides the presentations gives your event a personality and serves as another enticing aspect to attract attendees for your next event.

Parting Words

¡°Our adventure is over and done with,¡± Dick said. ¡°It has gone ¡®poof¡¯ like a bursted soap bubble.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s lock up, here, and join Jeff,¡± suggested Sandy. From their cockpits Sandy and Dick watched the hydroplane. At cruising speed their airplane made nearly three miles to the hydroplane¡¯s one. Its mysterious occupant must know that they were trailing him, but he held to a straight course so that his lights were never in a different place as their craft above swung to show its observers the red and then the green. ¡°Then we have found the man who is guilty!¡± exclaimed Dick. ¡°He was with Tommy Larsen, hired him to go out to meet the yacht!¡± ¡°What about Mr. Whiteside¡ªand Jeff?¡± Dick wanted to get to the bottom of a startling situation. ¡°Then that woman¡ªMimi¡ªcame back to rejoin Jeff!¡± argued Larry, and broke into a run. ¡°Come on, fellows!¡± ¡°Yes! There they are! Just a little below our level.¡± "I knew," Cairness said, turning to Landor after a very short silence, "that you and Mrs. Landor were somewhere along here. So I left my horse at a rancheria across the hill there," he nodded over his shoulder in the direction of the looming pile just behind, "and walked to where I saw the fire. I saw you for some time before I was near, but I ought to have called out. I really didn't think about startling you." "I rather thought that might be too much for even you," said Cairness. The Englishman lost his coolness. Again he rushed savagely at Shorty, with less care in his guard. Shorty evaded his mighty blow, and reaching up under his guard struck him on the chin so hard that the Englishman fell like an ox. "Deacon, these brothers and sisters who have come here with me to-night are, like myself, deeply interested in the moral condition of the army, where we all have sons or kinsmen. Now, can't you sit right there and tell us of your observations and experiences, as a Christian man and father, from day to day, of every day that you were down there? Tell us everything, just as it happened each day, that we may be able to judge for ourselves." She made a quick recovery, and Robert and Peter were christened at Easter-time. Naomi looked every inch the proud mother. Her slight figure had acquired more matronly lines, and she even affected a more elderly style of dress. For some time afterwards, proud and beloved, she really felt that motherhood was her vocation, and when in the course of the summer she[Pg 90] realised that her experiences were to be repeated, she was not so sorry as she had been before. She hoped desperately it would be a girl¡ªbut this time said nothing to Reuben. "Because you gave those things up of your free will¡ªthey were made to give them up by force. You've no right to starve and deny other people as you have to starve and deny yourself." "I'll make him pleased. You leave father to me for the future." "But I d?an't want you to waste your money."
