Due to the snowpocalypse that hit the DC area in early February, the Holocaust Museum’s first attempt at organizing a tweet-up was canceled. We have now rescheduled for Monday, March 22, 2010. Details below:
The first tweet-up will focus on the hot topic of mobile technologies. It is scheduled for Monday, March 22, from 5:30 to 7:30pm at RFD (810 7th Street NW; Metro: Red, exit Gallery Place/Chinatown; http://www.lovethebeer.com/rfd-directions.html).
Joining us to set the stage will be Nancy Proctor, Head of New Media at the Smithsonian American Art Museum and writer of the blog MuseumMobile, http://museummobile.info/. Questions we hope to cover include: When should one create an iPhone app vs. using the mobile Web? What are important considerations when structuring a mobile giving campaign? What are best practices for integrating multimedia and text in mobile programming? What are the most innovative uses of user-generated content in mobile programming?
Come prepared to share your experiences, whether successes and failures, and above all else, just come to hang out, reconnect with your colleagues, make some new connections, and have a few beers.
To ensure we have enough chairs set up at RFD, please RSVP to my e-mail awong@ushmm.org or at the twtvite for this event: http://twtvite.com/mt2vfe.
If you have ideas for future tweet-ups, please share those as well!
A belated thank-you to everyone who turned out for the Holocaust Museum’s first tweet-up on March 22nd. Next time we will pick a quieter venue–promise.
For those who couldn’t join, we used the tag #conconf, so you can check the archive for tweets on and after March 22 at http://twapperkeeper.com/hashtag/conconf. Nancy Proctor also set up a Twitter list of participants at http://twitter.com/NancyProctor/conconf-mobile.
