1. We have 2 tablets and a Garmin (like a fitbit) to give away right
now.
2. If we do we are going to need more than two people to work on the
totaling if we only get a quart of the people to participate.
3. Rules may be where we hang ourselves up on. Like does group photos
count as 1 for everyone in the photo? If so, how do they need to identify
their selves. Will we need to go to each vendor booth and take a photo of
everyone that is with them to make sure the people are taking photos with
vendors or do we just take their word for it? What about the business rep?
How will we know? Will the photos in the sessions be disturbing to the
presenter?
I feel we need to work on the rules first. I feel we need to choose
something different for Item #4, 7 and 10 because I don’t want people
disrupting the presenter. Maybe add one more vendor, photo of your
conference lunch and the GSIS sign or two signs of the businesses that
donated because not all of them are open at the end of the conference day
or something like that.

By the way....if we want to do this and we get a decision on what the rules
need to be, I can print a sign to hang at the registration area for
Wednesday. Just let me know if we need it, etc.

My recommendation is that the person has to post all photos on Twitter or
all photos on Facebook and not switch back and forth. That would help some
from having to check Twitter for the person, then going through Facebook to
find the person back and forth.

This is an excellent idea. Last year we only did a "#" tag, but nothing
like this.
I would be up to helping Samantha keep up with this. It would only be for
Facebook or Twitter, as those are our two social media accounts that we use
most.
If everyone is on board, I can print business card size templates with the
'rules' & print out 500 to stuff in bags.
I like the suggestions & we would say that they have to follow the 'rules'
to a tee. Another rule is that they would have to 'follow us' on either
media.
I'm not sure about the prize, but it could be a tablet. It shouldn't be a
'big' prize such as a free registration as not everyone is on social media.
What we need to do as a group is agree on a prize & give us the go ahead.

This is a great idea, Samantha. The board tried something similar at a
previous conference, but you were right in that it is a difficult task for
someone to keep up with. If it was well planned in advance, AND others were
given specific tasks that they had to follow to assist, I think it would
work.

During an early meeting, we were discussing ways to get people to visit the
vendor tables. Well, what about a scavenger hunt that incorporates twitter
photos of themselves with the vendors, during sessions, and even visiting
some of the businesses on the river that donated door prizes???
They could tweet the photos with a caption matching listed item, tagging
#GSISHunt16 (or something like it). The hunt would need to be completed by
5 PM on Thursday. The list could contain about 10 items. The items could
represent those "hard to get people involved" moments. For example:
Items 1, 2, & 3 - Photos with vendors (it will be up to the vendors to
pitch their products)
Items 4 - Photo during a session
Item 5 - Photo with a GSIS Board member
Item 6 - Photo of them posting to the WOW moment board
Item 7 - Photo with a business representatives of one of the businesses
that donated door prizes (this would require a published list somewhere)
Item 8 Photo with a DOE employee
Item 9 - Photo during breakfast
Item 10 - Photo during 4 PM session
All of the people that complete the "list" will go into a drawing for a
free conference the next year (or a coveted door prize of sorts)???? The
winner would be announced during the closing session????
Thoughts? Compiling the tweets to know who goes in the drawing might be a
bit of a challenge. But, if they are required to tweet:
"Item 1 @GSISSUSERGROUP #GSISHunt16"
...it could make it easier to go down the page of #s to find the list. I
would be willing to contribute my time if it will help get people to
participate in those "more difficult to get participation" areas. And, the
number of items on the list is up to us. I just thought this might add a
bit more interaction.
It may be too late to incorporate this for 2016. But, 2017 will be here
before you know it.
