5:11 pm JennyAndrawis: Joining #engage365 chat now! :)
5:11 pm samueljsmith: @ASegar Sounds interesting. So does #edaccess10 #engage365
5:12 pm ASegar: @rayhansen 1) #edaccess10 is a 4 day con for IT staff at small independent schools. This yr (19th) we had NO didactic sessions at #Engage365
5:12 pm samueljsmith: @JennyAndrawis Hi Jenny! welcome to the chat! #engage365
5:12 pm inspirationguy: #Engage365 - I'm just lurking here :-)
5:13 pm samueljsmith: @inspirationguy Welcome! #engage365
5:13 pm ASegar: @rayhansen 2) all. All crowd sourced. The event has been my testbed for Conferences That Work design. #Engage365
5:13 pm rayhansen: @ASegar so how was SM used? sound vry cool #engage365
5:14 pm inspirationguy: @samueljsmith Thanks - what's the topic? #engage365
5:14 pm JimSuchara: Fun sounding concept RT @rayhansen I would be intrested in hearing if anyone has used any SM tools in a game design at an event #engage365
5:16 pm rayhansen: @JimSuchara I think it could be a fun team building idea. maybe team building across the globe #engage365
5:16 pm tracibrowne: I keep hearing about events using a particular sm tool but not a plan that incorporates many #engage365
5:16 pm ASegar: The case study session I'll blog about used Cover It Live & Google Docs to collaborate on a task normally taking days in 90 mins #Engage365
5:17 pm samueljsmith: @tracibrowne What do you mean by that? #engage365
5:17 pm rayhansen: @ASegar vry cool Can we have a link to your blog? and book for that matter... #engage365
5:18 pm tracibrowne: Like foursquare checkins at sessions/booths...but that leaves out all those not using foursquare...and many don't want to use it #engage365
5:18 pm reedstockman: RT @tracibrowne: I keep hearing about events using a particular sm tool but not a plan that incorporates many #engage365
5:18 pm ASegar: @tracibrowne We were given a heap of SM tools to use in the case study & had to decide which ones to use. #Engage365
5:19 pm tracibrowne: @ASegar did each person decide which they would use or what the group would use? #engage365
5:19 pm reedstockman: doing member service while lurking #engage365
5:19 pm samueljsmith: @tracibrowne One of the challenges is that if you off too many tools - it feels like a buffet. #engage365
5:19 pm ASegar: @rayhansen Since you asked :-) you can find everything at www.conferencesthatwork.com. Blog post up this weekend. #Engage365
5:20 pm samueljsmith: @tracibrowne On the other hand, not everyone will use all of the tools. #engage365
5:20 pm tracibrowne: @samueljsmith are buffets bad? #engage365
5:20 pm ASegar: @tracibrowne In short, initially various parallel approaches, then the group converged on what was working best. #Engage365
5:21 pm tracibrowne: I'd like to see a "game" the twitter users can use and foursquare users can use and FB users can use, etc. all to the same goal. #engage365
5:21 pm planetplanitbiz: There is sporadic use of sm 4 events at present over here so any info on how 2 adopt wd b gr8 #engage365
5:22 pm JennyAndrawis: @asegar and what did work best? in your case... #Engage365
5:22 pm samueljsmith: @tracibrowne Good Q! I think of SM as a comm tool. They work best when more people are using them. Not 100 here and 50 there. #engage365
5:22 pm LindaChreno: interesting that I cannot get my posts to show on tweetchat, but they show on twitter #engage365
5:23 pm ASegar: @samueljsmith New version of Google Docs allows simultaneous users on documents; we had 40 people working on 1 spreadsheet! #Engage365
5:23 pm samueljsmith: @ASegar that's really cool. #engage365
5:23 pm JennyAndrawis: @lindachreno I see you on tweetchat #engage365
5:24 pm rayhansen: yeah thats cool! RT @ASegar: New Google Docs allows simultaneous users on documents; we had 40 people working on 1 spreadsheet! #engage365
5:24 pm samueljsmith: @planetplanitbiz Here is an article on social media and technology adoption strategies for events: http://ow.ly/23kap #engage365
5:24 pm ASegar: @JennyAndrawis The Cover It Live blog acted as a central comm channel, and we ended up using Google Docs for the deliverables. #Engage365
5:25 pm rayhansen: @ASegar curious...was the outcome cloudy or was there consensus? #engage365
5:25 pm samueljsmith: @LindaChreno I see you on tweetchat. #engage365
5:25 pm tracibrowne: not sure I understand? RT @samueljsmith: ...They work best when more people are using them. Not 100 here and 50 there. #engage365
5:26 pm ASegar: @JennyAndrawis Some people set up a Google Wave, but it didn't get widely surfed. #Engage365
5:26 pm JennyAndrawis: @asegar what was the nature of the deliverables? where they blog posts?#Engage365
5:27 pm rayhansen: @samueljsmith is there a conference or an event we can learn more about these innovative ideas and technologies? #engage365
5:27 pm ASegar: @rayhansen Because this was essentially a crash project, people were grateful for everyone's contribution. #Engage365
5:27 pm samueljsmith: @tracibrowne And I don't think there is a one-size fits all. U need to consider attendees, social engagement preferences, & tech #engage365
5:28 pm tracibrowne: @samueljsmith I like the idea of a "few" I've just never seen them incorporated...only separate goals for each #engage365
5:28 pm rayhansen: @ASegar i cant wait for the case study! www.conferencesthatwork.com #engage365
5:28 pm samueljsmith: @rayhansen Event Camp Twin Cities will dive into these topics in more detail. #engage365
5:29 pm samueljsmith: Me too! RT @rayhansen: @ASegar i cant wait for the case study! www.conferencesthatwork.com #engage365
5:29 pm rayhansen: sorry for the shameless plug RT @samueljsmith: @rayhansen Event Camp Twin Cities will dive into these topics in more detail. #engage365
5:29 pm ASegar: @rayhansen Like an emergency situation. People don't stand around trying to reach consensus. #Engage365
5:29 pm tracibrowne: @rayhansen I heard about this really cool event in Twin Cities...Event Camp...#ECTC10 I think? #engage365
5:29 pm LindaChreno: some local chapters of Amer Mktg Assn have presentations about sm that are very good #engage365
5:30 pm tracibrowne: @LindaChreno do you have links to the presentations? #engage365
5:30 pm samueljsmith: @tracibrowne Ahh, I see what you are saying. Yes. I have not seen any solutions that are fully integrated like that. YET! #engage365
5:30 pm rayhansen: women and children get out of @ASegar way! what? #engage365
5:30 pm rayhansen: RT @tracibrowne: @rayhansen I heard about this really cool event in Twin Cities...Event Camp...#ECTC10 I think? #engage365
5:30 pm ASegar: @rayhansen I'm writing a new book about using participative techniques in conference sessions. #Engage365
5:31 pm samueljsmith: Are any of you using Social Media "during" your event to draw attention to your association and/or annual event? #engage365
5:31 pm tracibrowne: @samueljsmith @rayhansen so you guys are going to do it right? Figure out how to incorporate a "few" ;-) #engage365
5:31 pm rayhansen: will there be an ARS chapter? RT @ASegar: @rayhansen Im writing a new book about using participative techniques in conf sessions. #engage365
5:32 pm ASegar: @rayhansen There were no children present, but the women participants jumped right in. #Engage365
