The Social Influencer Reporters
The Long Beach Convention & Visitors Bureau ran a social media
contest on Twitter and Instagram to fill the last two Social Influencer
Reporter spots.• On Twitter, one winner was selected by telling us in 140
characters or less what sight, sound and space means when designing an event.
• On Instagram, one winner, through the use of photos, showed us the interpretation of sight, sound and space for an event.
• To enter, all entries had to use the hashtag #SightSoundLBC and @SightSoundlBC on Instagram. Winners were selected on creativity and influence in niche.
• Winners received two-nights’ accommodation (air, hotel, transfers) and will experience Sight, Sound and Space at unveiling of the Pacific Ballroom at the Long Beach Arena as one of the event’s VIP social influencer reporters.
