2. { What Social Media Sites Should I Use?
• Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram
• These are the sites where you will find people
talking about the conferences they are
attending as well as searching for unique
spaces using location based hashtags and
interests.
• These three sites will help you focus your
social media efforts while also getting the
most exposure across the internet to your
target demographic.

followers to comment on the post itself
