At this year’s Annual Conference in Singapore, ICA is utilizing social media trends to help conference goers connect before, during, and after conference. This is a new venture for ICA and we hope you'll take advantage of several of the new options available.
Before Conference: Texting, Twitter, and Social Networking
Before conference starts, you will have the option to sign up for updates sent directly to your mobile phone during conference. You can expect a few texts each day with vital information, such as last minute room changes or reminders for highly anticipated scheduled events. The ICA staff will judiciously select the announcements to ensure that you receive only the most important news without flooding your inbox. You can sign up now by emailing your name and mobile phone number to conference@icahdq.org. You will also be able to access these messages with your cell phone or laptop computer by checking ICA’s Twitter account, “ICAHDQ”. Staff members will update the page throughout the day to help keep you informed.
If you use Facebook or LinkedIn, consider adding ICA to your groups. On both of these sites, ICA members have created and populated groups that provide forums for members to share information. You can find and meet other conference goers, exchange travel plans and tips, or even potentially find a roommate. Neither of the ICA groups on Facebook and LinkedIn are affiliated with ICA headquarters or leadership, and are driven solely by interested members.
At Conference: Photo Sharing and Blogging
ICA wants to see conference from your perspective. While walking the halls of the Suntec Convention Centre or exploring the city, take a camera along with you. A photo upload station will be setup at the convention center so that can you can share your experience with us. We are always looking for new pictures to keep our website interesting and reflective of our membership—your photos could be selected for display on the site or other promotional materials.
If you have a blog, intend to write about conference or have ideas about blogging topics, we want to hear from you! Your blog could be featured on ICA’s website. Send ideas and information about your blog to conference@icahdq.org for consideration.
