The upcoming INFORMS Practice Conference has embraced new social networking technologies as no INFORMS conference has ever done. You have your choice of
- Blogging. A conference blog with a half dozen guest bloggers (including yours truly).
- Twittering. Just use the #ipc2009 tag
- LinkedIn. I’m not sure the value of a LinkedIn group, but I want to be part of the gang!
Let’s see, what’s left? Facebook? Club Penguin?
This makes a great experiment in what helps people best engage with a conference.
How about a podcast? Anyone bringing any recording equipment?
Cool. It is time every conference has an official blog.
A few of us from the Solver Foundation team will be at the conference – I posted our schedule on my blog, and I hope to do a couple of posts while I’m in Phoenix.
