6 Things Bloggers Should Bring to Conferences

This past weekend I was at WordCamp Dallas, where I was given the opportunity to both speak to and interact with a group of over 300 fellow WordPress users, bloggers and soon-to-be bloggers. It was a great event that was a unique combination of wonderful sponsors, great planning, spectacular speakers and great attendees.

But if you are a blogger that is new to conferences, whether they are blogger-specific, technical or otherwise, there is a lot to remember. Blogging, for the most part, is a solo activity and if your job doesn’t sent you to a lot of conferences there may well be a lot that you forget or don’t think to bring.

Since conference season is under way and many bloggers may be treking out to their first convention, here are a few things that you should remember before you get in the car.

Choosing the Right Hashtag for Twitter

Hashtags on Twitter can serve a few useful purposes, namely in helping you to promote yourself. Twitter trending topics, search and related applicatins thrive on these hashtags, as they serve as noted keywords in the sea of tweets going through the microblogging platform. So determining the perfect hashtag is akin to creating the perfect title for a blog post.

Hashtags do the following:

Grab people’s attention
Help you gain visibility as your hashtag rises through search engines
Creates a Twitter community around your noted term

So how do you go about deciding on a hashtag? Well, start with your topic. What will your hashtag be about and what are you trying to promote? Perhaps you have an upcoming event which you’ll be hosting or attending. If you’re hosting the event, you want to spread the word as far as possible. If you’re attending the event, you want to become part of the Twitter discussions around the event. Being the person to create the hashtag for this event puts you at the center of this activity, increasing your visibility and credibility as a resource.
