2. If you're going to try to manage everything on your phone next week, you're going to fail. USE A COMPUTER and TABS ARE YOUR FRIEND.
3. The OFFICIAL conference hashtag is #NWAS20 but inevitably people will not get that message and use variations.
Here is a starter search syntax you can set up as a column in Tweetdeck to ensure you're getting those:
#NWAS20 OR #NWA20 OR #NWA2020 OR #NWAS2020

4. The app this year will enable a lot of communication within it, but there WILL be discussion taking place on Twitter as well and @nwas is still live-tweeting everything. So follow the hashtag, but also UPDATE YOUR PROFILE FOR A CONFERENCE, including your avatar!
4. If you have a @LinkedIn profile, now is a good time to update it as well. That's why it exists, for networking virtually like we will be doing. Design it like a CV. Link to it on your profiles and in the app.
5. DON'T BE AFRAID TO ENGAGE WITH PARTICIPANTS. There is literally zero people that don't want to be approached about the work they are doing. THAT IS WHY THEY ARE THERE! Do it in the app, on SM, on virtual meets, text, exchange emails, do it all!
6. Set up a private virtual chat throughout the conference!
Don't limit yourself to only text/chats. We all know how easy it is to misunderstand each other when we text, so ask a speaker/presenter/participant to join you on a virtual chat, even for a couple minutes.

7. Use the Whova app as a gateway to use all the resources of the internet at your disposal this week. Propose a virtual meet up, collaboration/brainstorm, social event, virtual "let's have a drink" session.
Find ways to virtualize what you'd be doing if you were there.
