Attending #SAA2011 via Twitter Day 1

Some thoughts from following #SAA2011 and not attending the conference in person, from about 1100AM - 800 pm EST. The notes I made were geared toward non-social media audience and just general reflection.

  1. Getting to the conference
  2. I am at the Detroit airport. Late as usual. #SAA2011 here I come.
  3. @brockter just got in to Sacramento! Wether is great. Can't wait to see #blogarch panel on sat! #saa2011
  4. Ok. So who's up for a beer at this hour. Everyone is suffering from het lag and have all gone to bed. Is there anyone still up #SAA2011
  5. @dq8s you know I'm down, if I ever get off this runway. #saa2011
  6. coordinating hashtag
  7. What's the hashtag for the SAA meetings? #saa2011? #saa11? Does anyone know?
  8. Finishing papers
  9. I rode five hrs xcountry to wait on Sacramento sidewalk for #saa2011 ... Finished paper on plane though, dat is nominal, ordinal and Mssppn
  10. really wish I could just wing my presentation for the #blogarch panel at #SAA2011...but I'd probably exceed my time limit!
  11. Finishing #saa2011 talk, ending with "How I learned to stop worrying and love the Web"
  12. Even the day before the papers start virtual attendees are already listening in...
  13. @ekansa And how did you learn to love the Web? Perhaps a teaser trailer for those not attending #saa2011 is needed.
  14. ... and benefiting from engaging conference attendees through social media. 
  15. @ekansa Thanks! Now my lunchtime reading is sorted. #saa2011 (in absentia)
  16. Networking begins before everyone even gets to Sacramento
  17. done. RT @jldinkelaker: @brockter Thur morning stop by my poster 8-10 in the east lobby 3rd floor: DH, public history/arch #saa2011 #pubarch
  18. and some advertising to let interested parties know your work is out there.
  19. RT @panamconsultant: Our first presentation for #saa2011 is a poster tomorrow morning in global perspectives on stone tool technologies session. Check it out!
  20. Last planned post from the #blogarch carnival bit.ly/g9Xyzp - but the conversation continues at the #SAA2011. See you there!
  21. Officially in our 8am poster session at #saa2011 come by if ur around! t.co/vnicNA0
  22. Live tweets from session attendees -- what do we REALLY get out of it? Details not in the abstracts, a preview to peer review, guidance for papers we might want to track down. Benefits improve when comparing live tweets with the conference abstract SAA 2011 Final Program
