By my count, the PhoCusWright Conference in Phoenix last week utilized at least 49 different hashtags, but that by no means gave them a corner on the market.
There were several other major conferences held that covered Word of Mouth Marketing, Web 2.0, Twitter, Innovation, Mobile, European Startups and another travel industry tradition, the New York Hotel Show. Even COMDEX rose from the ashes as a virtual event.
Here are my picks for the top ten Twitter #hashtags covering travel, marketing and technology for the week of November 15 – November 21, 2010:
Hashtag Transcript – Website Link
- #phocuswright – The PhoCusWright Conference
- #w2s – Web 2.0 Summit
- #comdex – COMDEX (Virtual)
- #defragcon – Defrag
- #twtrcon – TWTRCON SF 10
- #womma – WOMMA Summit 2010
- #theeuropas – TechCrunch European Startup Awards
- #up2010 – Up 2010 Cloud Computing Conference
- #machk – Mobile World Congress

With US Thanksgiving this week, it will be interesting to see if the focus shifts overseas, or if there might be a shortage of important hashtags next week. Please let me know if you see a great hashtag on the horizon.
Many thanks to WhatTheHashtag for archiving the tweets so those that missed the sessions live can still benefit from the content shared by the speakers and insights from the audience.
