“A Tweetup is an event where people who tweet come together to meet in person.”

TweetUp Tips Dos & Don’ts
• Know your audience• Piggyback on the main event hashtag • Be an event sponsor to get access to event @handle• Set up a simple page outlining the event, the time,
the place, and the rules• “Bring your own booze or buy it”• Come and network like crazy with fans of the show• Don’t try to sell anything. It's just time for friends to
get together and make connections• Don’t count on a spontaneous venue
