Event social media is a powerful tool to promote events through social platforms like Twitter and Facebook. It can increase event registration, buzz, and attendance while decreasing costs. Social media should be utilized before, during, and after events to maximize exposure and interactivity among attendees. This includes creating event hashtags and Twitterwalls during events. After events, photos and videos should be shared on social media along with analytic reports. Hiring a Twitter jockey can help manage live event coverage across platforms and expand the event's reach and perceived value. Ultimately, well-executed event social media can increase an event's revenue and profitability.
