The fall conference season is in full swing and fortunately, for those unable to be in multiple locales simultaneously, live tweeting helps keep everyone informed of key topics of discussion.
The one interesting exception was Henry Harteveldt of Forrester Research who appeared to be physically attending the Amadeus Horizons conference in San Francisco, but was also virtually attending the Eye for Travel Distribution Summit in Chicago.
Henry’s live tweeting post rate would have been made court reporters envious, especially since he wound up cross-hashtagging his posts to keep up with both conferences.
Since even Henry couldn’t be everywhere, thanks to What the Hashtag?! transcripts of the discussions that mattered have been captured.
My recommendations for the top ten Twitter #hashtags covering travel, hotels, marketing, and technology for the week of October 11 – October 17, 2010 were:
Hashtag Transcript – Website Link
- #eftamerica – Eye for Travel Distribution Summit North America
- #horizons10 – Amadeus Horizons
- #BWE10 – Blog World & New Media Expo
- #DMA2010 – Direct Marketing Association 2010 Conference & Exhibition
- #sus2010 – Y Combinator’s Startup School
- #NBAA10 – National Business Aviation Association Annual Conference
- #SATWsaxony – Society of American Travel Writers Annual Convention
- #etourism – E-Tourism Summit
- #TEDxSMU – TEDxSMU
- #Sdnc10 – Service Design Network Conference
Please add a comment if you thought some additional hashtags should have been included or, in the coming week, if there are any you think I should keep an eye on in consideration for next week’s list.
