Ask HN: Non-profit organization doing a big event. Need tech ideas.

3 pointsireadzalot16y ago1 comments

I work for a non-profit organization that promotes citizen involvement in public issues. We are doing a big event in Washington DC in a couple of months.

I was wondering if I could get some advice from fellow hackers about technology to use during this event such webcasting, getting people to participate online (your personal experience would be even better).

Our main goal is to get a lot of people (young and old) excited about this event. What I am looking for is technology ideas that can be used via website and social media outlets to promote/generate interest.

Thanks.

set up a twitter account and encourage people to follow it with mobile updates during the event.

Use it to announce interesting things people might want to know while they're at the event.

Example: "Don't forget to check out the Green-Energy Table in the Lobby"
