Hi, I actually personally think it’s a good idea to have one conference account that stay the same over different years, but use a hashtag (which you would anyway) to delineate 2009 ’s event versus 2010. There is some debate about this though. I do think that starting from scratch with a new account every year seems like unnecessary work.

Regarding the issue of whether to create a separate Tweeter account for a conference or just use hashtags, what do u think about creating one separate account for a conference and use it years over years ? example: @conference. You don’t lose followers and all the discussions, compared to an account for a specific-year conference (for example : @conference08).

Thanks! You just helped me with some great ideas The last point seems to be a little bit funny in the case of a novice twitter, but of course, it can provide necessary statistics in case of mainstream twitters.

Thanks so much for the comments! It will be interesting to see how these tips might change over time as organizations become more used to using Twitter and develop different strategies of their own too.

Great article and spot-on.

The level of people who “get” SM needs to increase (mentor!) and they must be well trained on the legal and strategic side of the business as well. Even non-profits can have competitors.

This post was spot on for our association. Twitter is an awesome vehicle for connecting our MBAs with each other.

We need to consider your tip about doing a Twitter landing page.
