It’s a conference about Twitter. Of course we expect you to participate in the content! We are going to have two types of user-generated content sessions at TWTRCON SF 09 — we hope these end up being fun, lively ways for attendees to participate, talk about what they’re doing with Twitter and meet other attendees who are interested in the same topics.
1. The TWTR Pitch sessions: we want to give start ups, application developers — and anyone with something to say — a chance to tell TWTRCON attendees what they’re working on. There will be about 2 sessions with 3 TWTR Pitch panelists each (the exact number may still change based on last-minute program changes). Each TWTR Pitch panelist will get 140 seconds to pitch, then there will be about 10 minutes where the audience gets to ask questions. Got something to say? Apply here. Attendees will get to chose the panelists onsite! (Kind of like American Twitter Idol.) Tip: Don’t over-think it – just have fun with it. We all wish we were cool start ups, too!
2. Lunch Networking sessions: is there a particular Twitter business application or platform issue in which you’re interested? Start a roundtable topic and invite other people interested in the same topic to sit at your table! We’ll have a white board where you can suggest a topic or see what topics have already been created, you can start a new topic or simply join one that someone else has already picked.
All of our user-generated content sessions are hosted by David Berlind from TechWeb. A huge thank you to David and the TechWeb team; they’ll be running the voting for the TWTR Pitch sessions and helping to organize the lunch networking sessions!
We also plan to leave lots of time for questions all throughout the day, and we hope to take questions from both our in-person attendees and from tweeps who are participating via Twitter. So, whether you’ll be there in person or following #TWTRCON online, take a look at the agenda and start thinking about what questions you’ll want to ask!
