At events like #McDBlogHer, I lean on a few core engagement techniques:

  1. Real-time storytelling: I narrate what’s happening “right now” (like the @RevRunWisdom concert) so people feel they’re part of the moment, whether they’re in the room or following along online.
  2. Visual-first sharing: I use photos of key moments (red carpet walks, speakers like Miss California) to anchor the story and spark conversation.
  3. Hashtag networking: I consistently use event and sponsor hashtags (like #McDBlogHer and #BlogHer14) to connect attendees, brands, and at-home followers into one shared stream.
  4. Spotlighting others: I highlight what speakers and fellow bloggers are doing and saying, not just my own experience, which encourages replies, reposts, and live dialogue.

Is there a specific type of event you’re planning where you want to apply these techniques?
