Social Media at the 2018 Annual Assembly of Hospice and Palliative Care
The Annual Assembly of AAHPM and HPNA is this week and if you are going to Boston, or staying home to keep things running smoothly, social media can help make your conference experience be transformative. Since 2009, the Assembly has been making use of Twitter to provide additional insight, commentary and sources for the multiple sessions each day. Now things are expanding to dedicated conference apps, Facebook and Instagram. And for the first year ever we have Twitter contests.
The official hashtag of the conference: #hpm18 (works on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram), use it in every tweet this week! (Are you wondering why the hashtag for our interprofessional field/assembly is #hpm and not #hpc? Read more here.)
Here is a post on how Twitter can be helpful at a healthcare conference. Other key hashtags for the conference will be added here to this Google Document.
