Top 10 Tips For Socializing an Event from @guykawasaki

October 23, 2013 By Editor

I’ve been a pretty decent fan of Guy Kawasaki for some time now… it likely goes back about 10 or 12 years when I met him at an event in Vancouver. I had a chat with him, exchanged contact info and we kept up periodic exchanges for a short time. I learned lots from his blog and his books over the years and still enjoy many good things from him via his extended reach over social media channels – I was always amazed an impressed with how prompt Guy was at responding and engaging, even though I’m sure he received a TON of email and tweets. Recently Guy shared a gem of a post that anyone who’s involved or thinking of getting involved in event planning could use.

Via LinkedIn, Guy shares details of his experiences hosting events for Motorola Mobility and graciously passes along a number of no-brainer tips that many folks seem to ignore. follow some or most of these tips and chances are good that you’ll have a much better event. From Guy… His top 10 tips for  How to socialize an event:

  1. Pick an event hashtag (and keep it short!)
  2. tell people what the hashtag is
  3. Ask people to use the hashtag (think prizes)
  4. Broaden what socializing means
  5. Assign a person to socialize the event
  6. Livestream!
  7. Real time updates
  8. Show off the tweet stream
  9. Provide wireless access
  10. Provide good places for photo opportunities and make key attendees available for pics
