Best practice and new ideas to help your event reach a wider audience
Thoughts from #UKOLNeim
We explore the role of the event amplifier as a guide and the metaphor of amplification involving scattering seeds in this post reflecting on our experiences at the UKOLN Evidence, Impact and Metrics workshop.
Storytelling
How can event organisers tell stories to help promote their events? In this post we examine some of the easy ways event organisers can get involved with digital storytelling.
How Do We Measure Engagement?
Interpreting the metrics surrounding an amplified event can be tricky, so how do you put all the numbers into perspective to get a clear idea of how people are engaging with your event?
Color and Elastic Networks
How can the new proximity-based photo app Color and the concept of “elastic networks” apply to amplified and hybrid events? We consider how space, proximity and flexibility in social networks might play a role in amplified events.
Where Should The Content Go?
We consider the role of the event blog and where this content should appear for maximum authority and impact within the community. Should it be showcased on the organiser’s website or out in the wild?
Should I Amplify?
We outline some of the scenarios when event organisers should be amplifying their events, and debunk some of the myths associated with event amplification.
A Tale of Two Twitter Accounts
What happens when your official event Twitter account gets blocked from your event hash tag search results? We explain the pitfalls and the work arounds we tried out when this happened to us at the JISC Conference 2011.
Tool Review: Twoppy
We review Twoppy, a mobile event website/app builder that offers event organisers a cheap, easy way of creating an event app that will work across multiple devices.

Changes at Twapperkeeper
We analyse the changes imposed on the Twitter archiving service Twapperkeeper by Twitter, including the removal of export and API functions. We look for alternatives and consider the impact of the move on amplified events.
