Just a quick update here to cross post to an article I recently wrote on managing conference information. The article was published last month in FUMSI and it's called "Conference Information: Managing Before, During, and After". The article is based on some of my own experiences with using social media to communicate and participate in conferences. It's written more for people who are attending conferences in person, but some of the techniques could be applied for people who want to stay in touch with events that they are unable to attend.
I hope some of the resources are helpful for people. Social media has opened the channels (and backchannels) of communication widely for many of us, but it also has us drowning in a lot of information that we don't often know what to do with.
