| When | May 27, 2009 from 05:30 pm to 08:00 pm |
|---|---|
| Where | Christian Aid, 35 Lower Marsh, Waterloo, London SE1 7RL |
| Who |
Anyone working at a charity or nonprofit organisation interested in networking, learning about how to use social media effectively, starting out with Twitter, wanting to get better results, or wanting to explore your 'Twitter voice' (how your brand should approach using Twitter) and issues surrounding that. |
This initiative aims to provide an accessible forum for charities and non-profits to explore the applications and possibilities of Twitter, and the issues it presents, through knowledge-sharing, hands on experience and discussion.
Why attend?
- To meet people working at other charities, who are using, or thinking about using, Twitter.
- To learn about using Twitter and other social media.
The theme of this event is 'Developing your Twitter voice'.
We will explore this theme and the issues around it, covering topics including:
- Who in your organisation should tweet? Is there one voice or many?
- Which department or departments 'own' your Twitter account?
- What should your organisation tweet about?
- What is your tone on Twitter? Is it formal, friendly, personal, is it 'on brand'?
- Do you engage personally with your followers, post news, broadcast RSS feeds, or mixture of these?
- Is there any such thing as 'Twetiquette' (Twitter etiquette)?
- And anything else on your mind! (You don't have to stick to the script if you have a burning desire or need to explore something else).
This event is FREE for people who work at charities and nonprofit organisations and, if you cannot attend in person, you can follow it, and take part, online.
Places are strictly limited to 60, and we already have 45 people signed up, so add your name to the sign-up list quickly if you would like to attend!
