We were asked along by one of our lecturers, Jon Hickman in order to cover the day live, so to speak. Using social media tools such as Twitter, Youtube, AudioBoo and Posterous we uploaded content throughout the day. Our efforts were a great success and the debates carried on online a long time after everyone had gone home.
We had some great feedback from Andrew Thomas, the publisher from the magazine who said the we had achieved the objectives and managed to get people involved across all spectrums that couldn't make the day.
The day for us was really quite interesting, not only to experience a corporate conference alone but also hearing high profile speakers such as Peter Horricks - Head of Global and International News at the BBC discuss social media generally and the advantages and disadvantages of using it in a corporate sense as well as why he is encouraging his employees to use it.
Overall, was a triumph for us and the profile of Media Talent Bank from our live streaming from the day, a lot of our members are interested in social media so hopefully they got a lot out of it too!
