Planned Social Media Priorities for November 18 - 22, 2013

Dear colleagues,

Please find this week’s social media priorities below.

With just over a week until the forum we are rampingg up our efforts to promote the live web-streaming of the 20 auditorium sessions as well as the various ways in which both participants and non-participants can play a part by live-tweeting, asking questions and voting, via Twitter, SMS, and web.

You are all invited to embed the video player for any and all of the auditorium sessions on your websites and can find the embed codes for each sessionhere. We would greatly appreciate your help in promoting the live web-streaming on your social media channels, newsletters, and websites and are of course available to answer any questions you may have.
