how did #eventprofs get started . by Robert Swanwick

If you’re participating in the twice weekly #eventprofs chats on Twitter, well…kudos to you! The chats have gained incredible momentum (thanks to you) since they started a few months ago – heck, we’ve even been mentioned in The Twitter Book by O’Reilly Media. But more importantly, the hashtag #eventprofs lives beyond the chat and has been used to document conversations and tweets relevant to our industry. Do a search for eventprofs and you’ll find an extensive archive of stories, statistics and news for event professionals, by event professionals.

I was delighted to learn about Robert Swanwick’s interview with MPI’s magazine One+. In it, Robert, who also recently started #spkrchat, talks about how #eventprofs got started and how it brings value to all those who participate.

A big thank you to Robert for helping to spread the #eventprofs message!
